Highlights from this day
- lot_number_lou — i held at 0.25 for 2 months and it was the best decision i made 18:54
- lot_number_lou — while im here my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem 20:00
- mag_citrate — STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping 20:53
£38 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials, someone check my working
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
restarted after 14 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
i held at 0.25 for 2 months and it was the best decision i made
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+ 2.40mgdid anyone hold at 2.4 longer than four weeks before going up
plateaus move
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
held there too
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
SELECT wasnt weight
how long did the first 41kg take for people at the low doses
give it four weeks
went too fast once
while im here my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem

does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
🙏1👀1🎉3
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
did anybody find a difference between SWB and pharmacy at the same 0.25
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
is the plateau at 29 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
thats STEP 1

my PeptideMeter report on the TFC vial came back 99.2 against a certificate saying 99
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping

*that should say weekly
was FLOW the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
same dose day
steady state takes weeks
genuine question SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
update on the earlier thing STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it, ask me again in a month
anyone gone from 0.25 straight to 0.5 or is that too big a jump
