i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that

Highlights from this day
- fake_tracking — how long did the first 30kg take for people at the low doses 19:59
- area_percent — what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything 20:08
- orfor_watch — if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule 20:23
- fake_tracking — i stayed on 1.7 for 24 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it 21:25

does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip, thats one data point
the plateau hit me at 7 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change, i have it written down somewhere

five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
did anyone hold at 10 longer than four weeks before going up

slower worked better
im 25 months in at 0.25 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
restarted after 24 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time, ymmv

slightly off topic but anyone compared their 10 vial dosing against the pen increments
25 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
