steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing, ymmv

Highlights from this day
- u100_pat — is the plateau at 13 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong 13:06
- u100_pat — i held at 2.4 for 5 months and it was the best decision i made 14:03
- swirl_not_shake — held at 1.7 and lost 94lb over 21 months, slower than the trials and fine by me 15:45
- swirl_not_shake — the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip 15:58
how many weeks before you noticed anything at 2.5
is the plateau at 13 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
wk 1-4 0.25mg
wk 5-10 0.50mg (held 2 extra weeks)
wk 11-14 1.00mg
wk 15-26 1.70mg (held, long)
wk 27+ 2.40mghalf life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
2.4 is the ceiling

FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem

i held at 2.4 for 5 months and it was the best decision i made

same dose day
give it four weeks
$38 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
im at 1 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
seven days ish

plateaus move
New independent result logged — GGPeps, lot C-4402, purity 98.1% (Janoshik).
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
SELECT wasnt weight
im 14 months in at 2.5 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing

steady state takes weeks
the appetite effect faded for me around 4 months and going up fixed it for a while
was FLOW the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up

the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip

vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong, anyway
