Highlights from this day
- ferrous_ash — i held at 12 for 2 months and it was the best decision i made 12:22
- lean_mass_lex — i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication 14:49
- split_dose_sam — my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem 17:18
- split_dose_sam — the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip 17:21
anyone compared their 4 vial dosing against the pen increments
SELECT wasnt weight
the appetite effect faded for me around 25 months and going up fixed it for a while
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
mine faded too
i held at 12 for 2 months and it was the best decision i made

moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
1 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
ok so my 10 vial in 2.5ml gives 10mg/ml so 15 lands on 15 units, thats why i picked that volume, take that with a pinch of salt
follow up what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
give it four weeks
went too fast once
2.4 is the ceiling

held at 1 and lost 76lb over 12 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
slower worked better
£55 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
i stayed on 1.7 for 5 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it

back after 4 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
is the plateau at 17 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
my PeptideMeter report on the JEEP vial came back 99 against a certificate saying 98.6
held there too
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem

*Medutest not the other one
steady state takes weeks
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
| 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 |
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.4, which is one person and nothing more
