Highlights from this day
- two_lifts_a_week — while im here my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole… 22:57
- bengaluru_bac — $55 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials 23:14
- bengaluru_bac — STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers 23:16
- peak_split — my VendorInvestigate report on the SWB vial came back 99 against a certificate saying 97.4 23:18
- peak_split — genuine question im at 5 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up 23:24
unrelated but compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.4, which is one person and nothing more, not advice obviously
i stayed on 1.7 for 25 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
while im here my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
seven days ish

SELECT wasnt weight

$55 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials

| 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 |
plateaus move
steady state takes weeks
📈5
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
went too fast once
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
