for the archive 12 did nothing extra over 10 for me and that still holds a year later, happy to be corrected

unrelated but i went to 15 and came back to 10, more suppression wasnt more useful for me, n of 1 obviously
i log everything and my appetite curve looks flatter across the week than my semaglutide log did

AA

the trials titrated every four weeks to a target, most people here stop at whatever works

did going from 2.5 semaglutide to 5 of this feel like a step down for anyone

went back to semaglutide after 7 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI

AA

held 10 for 25 months and lost 40kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine

AA

coming off semaglutide, is there a conversion or do i restart at 2.5

DE

there genuinely is not. different receptor targets, different half-lives, different dose response shapes

any table you find with a conversion column was made up by somebody

C1

people post them constantly and they never cite anything, because there is nothing to cite

PS

i have seen 2.4 sema mapped to 10 tirz and also to 5 tirz, in the same week, by people equally confident

FN

most of us restart the ladder. 2.5 tirz for four weeks even coming off a high sema dose

C1

which feels like going backwards and it mostly isnt, because sema is still clearing for a month

DE

thats the key bit. week one on tirz you are on tirz plus most of your last sema dose

so a low tirz start is not a low total start

DE

yes, and people who jump straight in at 7.5 discover this the hard way in week two

PS

not dangerous, just genuinely miserable. four days of not wanting water

FA

and if you cant keep water down that stops being a chat question and starts being a doctor question

PS

for me yes. sema had stalled for four months and tirz moved me again

C1

for me no. i switched, lost nothing extra, and had worse constipation. switched back after five weeks

FN

which is why nobody in here will tell you it works. it works for some people

FN

you try it for long enough to know and you keep a log so you can tell the difference between a stall and a slow month

C1

*five months not five weeks, sorry. it was long enough to be a fair try

PS

on supply, the TFC material i moved to was fine, and going back to a pen later was uneventful

DE
