Highlights from this day
- ms_ms_mira — my PeptideMeter report on the ERP vial came back 97.4 against a certificate saying 98.1 16:37
- coa_or_cope — the plateau hit me at 2 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change, ask me again in a month 16:39
- coa_or_cope — five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt 17:10
- ms_ms_mira — did anybody find a difference between GGPeps and pharmacy at the same 2.4 17:51
- first_and_last_four — 24 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half, ask me again in a month if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in… 18:52

i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
vials not pens here
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 anybody find a difference between GGPeps and pharmacy at the same 2.4
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

how many weeks before you noticed anything at 1.7

not the same trial
24 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half, ask me again in a month
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
im 11 months in at 5 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
held at 7.5 and lost 19lb over 18 months, slower than the trials and fine by me, take that with a pinch of salt
went too fast once
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
