Highlights from this day
- amylin_amy — coming back to this held at 1 and lost 44lb over 1 months, slower than the trials and fine by me 09:55
- cold_chain_cmdr — coming back to this vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong 10:44
- mira_pins — STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping 12:54
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
thats STEP 1
coming back to this held at 1 and lost 44lb over 1 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

Verification log updated: ERP — evidence added, status unchanged.
how long did the first 34kg take for people at the low doses
lost about 23kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
6 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
coming back to this vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose

plateaus move
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
unrelated but is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
back after 11 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher

went too fast once
unrelated but i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
held there too
$55 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
vials not pens here
[edited]same dose day
mine faded too

my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping

give it four weeks
i held at 2 for 9 months and it was the best decision i made
unrelated but does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
restarted after 8 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
SELECT wasnt weight

FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
im at 2 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up
seven days ish
my 2 vial in 2.5ml gives 2.5mg/ml so 10 lands on 15 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
