Highlights from this day
- cold_pack_carla — going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution 21:55
- night_pin — my PeptideMeter report on the ERP vial came back 98.6 against a certificate saying 98.1 22:30
- VialBot — Reminder set. I will post here in 4 days. 22:44
- secretagogue_sy — the plateau hit me at 23 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change 23:07
- secretagogue_sy — my 10 vial in 0.5ml gives 2.5mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 10 units, thats why i picked that volume 23:10
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
⚠️2🔥7
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2, which is one person and nothing more
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
slower worked better
update on the earlier thing is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
plateaus move
for the archive changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose, not advice obviously
*that should say weekly
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution

held there too

Reminder set. I will post here in 7 days.
thats STEP 1

steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
SELECT wasnt weight
not the same trial
2.4 is the ceiling
was SURMOUNT-1 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
my PeptideMeter report on the ERP vial came back 98.6 against a certificate saying 98.1

if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
vials not pens here
steady state takes weeks
Reminder set. I will post here in 4 days.

STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
22 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
✅1
update on the earlier thing does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life

did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
😂1🤝8
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
[edited]the plateau hit me at 23 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change

i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
my 10 vial in 0.5ml gives 2.5mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 10 units, thats why i picked that volume

vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong

restarted after 3 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
i stayed on 1.7 for 4 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
