went too fast once

- point_two_five — i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication 20:10
- redefine_ren — half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose, anyway 20:39
- revoked_ro — if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule 20:41
- redefine_ren — 25 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half 20:44
- redefine_ren — did anybody find a difference between KP and pharmacy at the same 1 21:19
mine faded too
i stayed on 1.7 for 24 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
held at 0.25 and lost 86lb over 18 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
vials not pens here
same dose day

how long did the first 16kg take for people at the low doses

slower worked better
the plateau hit me at 26 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change

| 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 |
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
