Highlights from this day
- triumph_watch — did anybody find a difference between ERP and pharmacy at the same 15 15:09
- a1c_lag — my Janoshik report on the WWB vial came back 98.1 against a certificate saying 98.6 15:43
- maintenance_mo — five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt 16:08
- week_three_wall — the plateau hit me at 12 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change, n of 1 obviously 16:43
slower worked better
steady state takes weeks
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
quick one going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
seven days ish
👍8
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
vials not pens here
not the same trial
update on the earlier thing licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
did anybody find a difference between ERP and pharmacy at the same 15
my 30 vial in 2ml gives 10mg/ml so 2 lands on 15 units, thats why i picked that volume
the appetite effect faded for me around 4 months and going up fixed it for a while
does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
my Janoshik report on the WWB vial came back 98.1 against a certificate saying 98.6
give it four weeks
im 22 months in at 0.5 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
is the plateau at 27 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels, anyway
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt

STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 0.25, which is one person and nothing more
same dose day
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
the plateau hit me at 12 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change, n of 1 obviously
