Highlights from this day
- u100_pat — update on the earlier thing does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one 15:24
- quiet.hours — the plateau hit me at 34 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change 15:35
- egfr_ed — changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels 16:56
- night_pin — anyone gone from 2.4 straight to 0.5 or is that too big a jump restarted after 5 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time 18:15
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
[edited]restarted after 25 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
SELECT wasnt weight
did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
mine faded too
my VendorInvestigate report on the SSA vial came back 98.6 against a certificate saying 99
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
[edited]how many weeks before you noticed anything at 0.5

i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
unrelated but the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
held at 12 and lost 26lb over 14 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
right so 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
slower worked better
anyone compared their 10 vial dosing against the pen increments
Recon calculator: 15mg in 1.5ml = 5mg/ml.
anyone gone from 2.4 straight to 0.5 or is that too big a jump
restarted after 5 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time

i stayed on 1.7 for 24 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
2.4 is the ceiling

steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
genuine question the appetite effect faded for me around 14 months and going up fixed it for a while
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers, take that with a pinch of salt
held there too
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
im at 15 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up
