held at 10 and lost 88lb over 9 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
thats STEP 1
went too fast once
SELECT wasnt weight

does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker

is the plateau at 11 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong

right so back after 21 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
was SURPASS-2 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
how many weeks before you noticed anything at 2.5

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
⚠️2
plateaus move
not the same trial
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
seven days ish
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
same dose day
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication, ask me again in a month
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
my 40 vial in 2.5ml gives 4mg/ml so 2 lands on 30 units, thats why i picked that volume
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
lost about 34kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
$38 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
restarted after 17 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time, take that with a pinch of salt
slower worked better
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
💀4⚠️1
lost about 26kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
im 18 months in at 2.4 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 1, which is one person and nothing more
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
quick one how long did the first 26kg take for people at the low doses
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, from memory
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
the plateau hit me at 29 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
im at 2 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up
coming back to this mine faded too, not advice obviously
for the archive steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
sorry to jump in is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
did anybody find a difference between GGPeps and pharmacy at the same 12
