Highlights from this day

surpass_two — $120 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials, n of 1 obviously 16:43
surpass_two — vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong 17:11
no_appetite_nia — restarted after 4 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time 17:45
sharps_bin_sid — steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing, still working it out 21:10
per_mg_pete — slightly off topic but going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution 21:18

$120 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials, n of 1 obviously

3 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half

compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.5, which is one person and nothing more

vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong

thats STEP 1

is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4

plateaus move

restarted after 4 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time

i held at 12 for 5 months and it was the best decision i made

mine faded too

seven days ish

how many weeks before you noticed anything at 12

the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing

SELECT wasnt weight

slower worked better

went too fast once

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

held there too
