  • appetite_back — update on the earlier thing licensed top is 15 weekly, past that is not a licensed dose and nobody here can tell you what it does 19:19
  • bengaluru_bac — unrelated but anyone stopped at 10 and stayed there for months 19:39
  • bengaluru_bac — the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier 21:08

the GIP explanation for easier nausea is plausible and i still treat it as a story not a fact

40 units of a 8 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time, anyway

wk 1-4    2.5mg
wk 5-8    5.0mg
wk 9-20   7.5mg   <- stayed here
wk 21-24  10.0mg  (no extra benefit for me)
wk 25+    7.5mg   (came back down)

no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later

unrelated but anyone stopped at 10 and stayed there for months

€55 for a 15 vial is roughly what ive paid for the last year

FA

ok so the sweet spot argument is really about effect per side effect, not a magic number

whats the top licensed dose, 15 or does it go higher

there is no clean conversion between the two, anyone giving you a ratio is guessing, someone check my working

FA

did going from 0.25 semaglutide to 5 of this feel like a step down for anyone

anyone got a 2.5 recon they like for the 40 vials

is SURMOUNT-OSA the sleep apnoea one

BB

at 15 the GI came back for me, so my easier profile claim only applies below that

back after 20 months, do i restart at 2.5 or pick up near where i left off

SH

i argued the sweet spot was nonsense and then spent 19 months at 7.5 not needing more

BB

5 was where i first noticed it properly, 2.5 did almost nothing for me

BB

the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier

MU

right so the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar

❤️2

is the sweet spot argument about effect or about side effects

does switching from semaglutide need a gap or do you just start

10 was enough

SURMOUNT-1 versus SURPASS-2, which one was the weight trial

FA

the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and said so

AA

held 10 for 7 months and lost 47kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine, for what its worth

🧪9

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