Highlights from this day
  • week_zero — restarted after 20 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time 19:48
  • split_dose_sam — if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, not advice obviously 20:10
  • surpass_two — sorry to jump in compounded and brand felt the same to me at 0.25, which is one person and nothing more 20:56
  • belfast_bac — is 2.4 the top or do people go past it 21:39

my 40 vial in 3ml gives 5mg/ml so 2.4 lands on 10 units, thats why i picked that volume

how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week

five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt

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

the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing

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

the appetite effect faded for me around 6 months and going up fixed it for a while

SD

follow up going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution

NP

the plateau hit me at 29 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change, take that with a pinch of salt

sorry to jump in did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
