Highlights from this day
- cold_pack_carla — the plateau hit me at 7 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change 23:23
- impersonator_ip — while im here my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything 23:26
- meniscus_mel — licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose 23:38
- VialBot — Channel stats, last 30 days: 136 messages from 41 members. 23:47

how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
held there too
give it four weeks
genuine question does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
thats STEP 1

steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
2.4 is the ceiling

| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
7 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
vials not pens here
the appetite effect faded for me around 14 months and going up fixed it for a while
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose

restarted after 26 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
is the plateau at 17 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
€240 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
