Highlights from this day
  • manila_meniscus — sorry to jump in held 10 for 25 months and lost 28kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around… 08:21
  • per_mg_pete — does the GIP arm actually explain the easier nausea or is that hand waving 09:23
  • per_mg_pete — the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 25, i think 09:26
  • dana_titrates — did going from 10 semaglutide to 5 of this feel like a step down for anyone 09:58
  • iris_imports — sorry to jump in if youre coming off semaglutide the honest answer is start low and find out, theres no table restarted at 2.5 after 25 months off and the first two… 11:44

i sat at 7.5 for 23 months and never needed more, which is where the folklore comes from

Cited study
Tirzepatide Once Weekly for the Treatment of Obesity (SURMOUNT-1)
New England Journal of Medicine · 2022
72 weeks, tirzepatide 5, 10 and 15mg against placebo.

did anyone find the GI easier than semaglutide at an equivalent effect

the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 25, i think

licensed top is 15 weekly, past that is not a licensed dose and nobody here can tell you what it does

TO

the 10 vial in 3ml gives 2.5mg/ml which puts 2.5 on 10 units, nice round numbers

DT

did going from 10 semaglutide to 5 of this feel like a step down for anyone

40 units of a 2 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time, your mileage will differ

PM

update on the earlier thing SURMOUNT was the weight programme and SURPASS was diabetes, thats the split people mix up

start low anyway

restarted at 2.5 after 25 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists

anyone got a 2 recon they like for the 30 vials

switched from 15 semaglutide and started at 2.5, took the slow route, never regretted it

while im here does the appetite effect feel different or just stronger

i argued the sweet spot was nonsense and then spent 14 months at 7.5 not needing more

DT

restarted at 2.5 after 12 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists

II

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

II

dual agonist, GIP as well as GLP-1, thats the whole difference in one line
