- taper_or_not — the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 21 14:27
- VialBot — Verification log updated: HJ — evidence added, status unchanged. 14:30
- vat_on_import — ok so there is no clean conversion between the two, anyone giving you a ratio is guessing, happy to be corrected 15:09
- taper_or_not — SURMOUNT-OSA was the sleep apnoea trial and it is not a weight headline however its quoted 16:40

plateaued at 33 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific

went back to semaglutide after 8 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI
whats the top licensed dose, 15 or does it go higher
does the appetite effect feel different or just stronger
the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar
ok so there is no clean conversion between the two, anyone giving you a ratio is guessing, happy to be corrected
GI was noticeably easier for me than semaglutide at what felt like the same appetite effect
did anybody switch back to semaglutide after trying this
restarted at 2.5 after 15 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists
no clean conversion

12 did nothing extra over 10 for me and that still holds a year later

at 2.5 my appetite is gone entirely, did anyone go down rather than up
is there a reason to titrate slower than the four week schedule
