Highlights from this day
- step_one_sian — is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping 19:58
- madrid_mg — did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go 20:56
- madrid_mg — licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose 21:05
- mg_per_ml — how long did the first 18kg take for people at the low doses 21:27
- madrid_mg — anyone compared their 2 vial dosing against the pen increments 21:30
sorry to jump in if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
vials not pens here

the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
held there too
slower worked better
mine faded too

while im here going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
2.4 is the ceiling
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping

genuine question the plateau hit me at 27 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change

7 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
SELECT wasnt weight
i held at 0.25 for 4 months and it was the best decision i made
give it four weeks
steady state takes weeks
£240 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
Testing queue: 7 submissions open, 69 awaiting dispatch.
did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go

seven days ish
right so did anyone hold at 2.4 longer than four weeks before going up
how long did the first 18kg take for people at the low doses

right so vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
anyone compared their 2 vial dosing against the pen increments

compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.4, which is one person and nothing more
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
unrelated but restarted after 16 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
thats STEP 1
right so lost about 12kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing

coming back to this my PeptideMeter report on the MKM vial came back 99 against a certificate saying 98.1
coming back to this how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
im at 2.5 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up

coming back to this the appetite effect faded for me around 5 months and going up fixed it for a while
