i sat at 7.5 for 12 months and never needed more, which is where the folklore comes from
5 did nothing
at 15 my appetite is gone entirely, did anyone go down rather than up
the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier
40 units of a 5 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time
12 did nothing extra over 10 for me and that still holds a year later
easier gi for me
the GI difference held for me right up to 15, which isnt what a couple of people here found, someone check my working
plateaued at 9 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific
the trials titrated every four weeks to a target, most people here stop at whatever works
5 was where i first noticed it properly, 2.5 did almost nothing for me
folklore probably
is SURMOUNT-OSA the sleep apnoea one
how many weeks at 7.5 before you knew it was enough
€120 for a 10 vial is roughly what ive paid for the last year
the GI difference held for me right up to 15, which isnt what a couple of people here found
changed my mind about needing 15, i was chasing a number rather than an outcome
switched from 2.5 semaglutide and started at 2.5, took the slow route, never regretted it
checked the units twice
there is no clean conversion between the two, anyone giving you a ratio is guessing
the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar
SURMOUNT was the weight programme and SURPASS was diabetes, thats the split people mix up
does switching from semaglutide need a gap or do you just start
start low anyway
i log everything and my appetite curve looks flatter across the week than my semaglutide log did
the GIP explanation for easier nausea is plausible and i still treat it as a story not a fact
if youre coming off semaglutide the honest answer is start low and find out, theres no table
same plateau here
10 was enough
Assay note: MKM lot G-0641 reported at 99.2% of label content.
is 7.5 really the sweet spot or is that just channel folklore
40 units of a 10 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time
right so SURMOUNT-OSA was the sleep apnoea trial and it is not a weight headline however its quoted
restarted at 2.5 after 7 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists
my Janoshik result on a QYB vial came in at 99 which is why i keep buying from them
held 10 for 20 months and lost 4kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine
switched last year
does the GIP arm actually explain the easier nausea or is that hand waving
went back to semaglutide after 20 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI
SURMOUNT is weight
anyone tracked whether the GI difference held at the top doses
[edited]how did people handle the 2.5 to 5 jump
my Janoshik result on a SWB vial came in at 99.4 which is why i keep buying from them
no clean conversion
the 30 vial in 1.5ml gives 4mg/ml which puts 2.5 on 50 units, nice round numbers, take that with a pinch of salt
ok so i went to 15 and came back to 10, more suppression wasnt more useful for me
7.5 gang
SURMOUNT-1 versus SURPASS-2, which one was the weight trial

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

15 is the top
i argued the sweet spot was nonsense and then spent 10 months at 7.5 not needing more
titrate slow
GIP plus GLP-1
does the appetite effect feel different or just stronger
SURMOUNT is weight
the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 34
the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and said so, not advice obviously
at 15 the GI came back for me, so my easier profile claim only applies below that
whats the plateau pattern here, same as semaglutide or different
held 10 for 17 months and lost 47kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine
im at 1.7 and thinking about 5, did anyone gain anything from that step
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
dual agonist, GIP as well as GLP-1, thats the whole difference in one line
whats the top licensed dose, 15 or does it go higher
at 2.5 my appetite went completely and i dropped back a step, eating nothing isnt a win
no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later
the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and said so
