brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
#semaglutide 2024-08-15
- group_buy_gwen — compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.4, which is one person and nothing more 17:33
- group_buy_gwen — 17 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half 18:17
- half_life_hal — genuine question did anybody find a difference between GL Biochem and pharmacy at the same 2.5 18:52
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot A-2418. Nothing logged either way. 19:36
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
held at 0.25 and lost 42lb over 18 months, slower than the trials and fine by me, thats just me
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem, i think
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.4, which is one person and nothing more
[edited]is the plateau at 24 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
i stayed on 1.7 for 1 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
follow up licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose, we shall see
17 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
give it four weeks
thats STEP 1
[edited]coming back to this back after 23 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
how many weeks before you noticed anything at 0.25
my 20 vial in 2.5ml gives 10mg/ml so 1 lands on 5 units, thats why i picked that volume
mine faded too
genuine question did anybody find a difference between GL Biochem and pharmacy at the same 2.5
held there too
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
slower worked better

how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
quick one half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose

same dose day
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
update on the earlier thing restarted after 25 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
[edited]*PeptideMeter not the other one
