- back_from_away — the trials titrated every four weeks to a target, most people here stop at whatever works held 10 for 22 months and lost 47kg over that stretch, slow and boring and… 12:47
- logrotate — restarted at 2.5 after 10 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists, i think 14:10
- third_shift — whats the plateau pattern here, same as semaglutide or different 14:15
how did people handle the 2.5 to 5 jump
held 10 for 5 months and lost 6kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine
15 is the top
the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and said so
went back to semaglutide after 14 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI
i sat at 7.5 for 13 months and never needed more, which is where the folklore comes from
whats the top licensed dose, 15 or does it go higher

im at 12 and thinking about 7.5, did anyone gain anything from that step

titrate slow
