Highlights from this day
- no_appetite_nia — the appetite effect faded for me around 1 months and going up fixed it for a while, we shall see 10:56
- gip_glp_gil — the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip 14:08
- sulphur_burp — i stayed on 1.7 for 10 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it 14:23
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters, n of 1 obviously
im 20 months in at 2 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing

my 30 vial in 1ml gives 8mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 25 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
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 15, which is one person and nothing more
coming back to this went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
thats STEP 1
ok so if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, happy to be corrected
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
sorry to jump in steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing, take that with a pinch of salt
how long did the first 35kg take for people at the low doses

i held at 5 for 5 months and it was the best decision i made
[edited]give it four weeks
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip

STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
