Highlights from this day
- mag_citrate — update on the earlier thing STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping 19:54
- VialBot — Reminder set. I will post here in 8 days. 20:07
- area_percent — my 2 vial in 1ml gives 10mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 15 units, thats why i picked that volume 20:15
- area_percent — does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life 20:48
- half_life_hal — my VendorInvestigate report on the MKM vial came back 97.4 against a certificate saying 99.4 22:38
back after 19 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
vials not pens here
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication

half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step, ymmv
Reminder set. I will post here in 8 days.

does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
was SURPASS-2 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
my 2 vial in 1ml gives 10mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 15 units, thats why i picked that volume

vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong, ymmv
[edited]sorry to jump in is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
seven days ish

slower worked better
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+ 2.40mgdoes moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life

did anyone hold at 0.25 longer than four weeks before going up
the appetite effect faded for me around 1 months and going up fixed it for a while
what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
held at 12 and lost 88lb over 19 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that, someone check my working
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
£240 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
my VendorInvestigate report on the MKM vial came back 97.4 against a certificate saying 99.4
did anybody find a difference between TFC and pharmacy at the same 2.5
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
