right so five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
the appetite effect faded for me around 8 months and going up fixed it for a while
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
sorry to jump in the appetite effect faded for me around 2 months and going up fixed it for a while
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
