follow up restarted at 2.5 after 8 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists

Highlights from this day
- tarpit_tam — switched from 10 semaglutide and started at 2.5, took the slow route, never regretted it the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and… 12:20
- batch_bandit — for the archive the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 33 £55 for a 30 vial is roughly what ive paid for the last year 12:25
- spreadsheet_stu — slightly off topic but is SURMOUNT-OSA the sleep apnoea one 12:38

switched from 10 semaglutide and started at 2.5, took the slow route, never regretted it
the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and said so
SURMOUNT was the weight programme and SURPASS was diabetes, thats the split people mix up
for the archive the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 33
£55 for a 30 vial is roughly what ive paid for the last year
the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier, i have it written down somewhere
did anyone go past 15 and was there any point to it
update on the earlier thing 40 units of a 4 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time
anyone got a 5 recon they like for the 5 vials
the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and said so
i sat at 7.5 for 8 months and never needed more, which is where the folklore comes from
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
slightly off topic but is SURMOUNT-OSA the sleep apnoea one

how many weeks at 7.5 before you knew it was enough
❤️2🙏4👍15
$38 for a 20 vial is roughly what ive paid for the last year
no clean conversion
why does everyone talk about 7.5 and not 10
im at 5 and thinking about 1.7, did anyone gain anything from that step
at 0.25 my appetite went completely and i dropped back a step, eating nothing isnt a win
🙏1
does switching from semaglutide need a gap or do you just start
5 was where i first noticed it properly, 2.5 did almost nothing for me
how did people handle the 2.5 to 5 jump
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)i went to 15 and came back to 10, more suppression wasnt more useful for me
held 10 for 1 months and lost 45kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine
