Highlights from this day
- tb500_tobias — does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life 21:01
- LC_MS_Lena — is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4 21:08
- swab_dry_first — for the archive the plateau hit me at 30 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change 21:14
- LC_MS_Lena — was FLOW the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up 21:17
- orfor_watch — changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels, ill dig out the number 22:30
my 15 vial in 1ml gives 8mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 40 units, thats why i picked that volume
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
anyone compared their 4 vial dosing against the pen increments
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
🙏4🎉8
held at 2 and lost 57lb over 10 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
15 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half

is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4

five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
right so did anybody find a difference between Homopeptide and pharmacy at the same 12
for the archive the plateau hit me at 30 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change

i stayed on 1.7 for 24 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
🧊6
SELECT wasnt weight
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
held there too
[edited]the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing, thats just me
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
steady state takes weeks
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 1.7, which is one person and nothing more
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
€72 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
thats STEP 1

vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
the appetite effect faded for me around 11 months and going up fixed it for a while
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters

slower worked better

right so FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels, ill dig out the number

mine faded too
how long did the first 44kg take for people at the low doses
2.4 is the ceiling
lost about 20kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
seven days ish
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
not the same trial
vials not pens here
