Highlights from this day
- gip_glp_gil — i held at 12 for 2 months and it was the best decision i made went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down 16:51
- dana_titrates — changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels 17:52
- dana_titrates — i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication 17:54
- dana_titrates — held at 1.7 and lost 92lb over 22 months, slower than the trials and fine by me licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose 17:57
- perth_pin — update on the earlier thing restarted after 9 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time 18:12
i held at 12 for 2 months and it was the best decision i made
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
how long did the first 45kg take for people at the low doses
vials not pens here
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
held at 1.7 and lost 92lb over 22 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
update on the earlier thing restarted after 9 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
unrelated but was FLOW the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
*week 20 not week 9
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
