Highlights from this day

half_life_hal — STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping, take that with a pinch of salt 15:53
luerlok — right so went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step, i think 16:25
swab_dry_first — going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution 17:06
lot_number_lou — lost about 11kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me 17:30

vials not pens here

coming back to this anyone compared their 8 vial dosing against the pen increments

i held at 2.4 for 7 months and it was the best decision i made

right so went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step, i think

give it four weeks

held there too

steady state takes weeks

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

*that should say weekly

STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it

moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me

slower worked better

lost about 11kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me

how long did the first 48kg take for people at the low doses

FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
