genuine question changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels, we shall see

Highlights from this day
- ghk_gia — i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is… 22:55
- ghk_gia — moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me 22:59
- cricket_or_footy — the appetite effect faded for me around 14 months and going up fixed it for a while, anyway 23:04
- cricket_or_footy — my VendorInvestigate report on the Homopeptide vial came back 99 against a certificate saying 99.2 23:09
- new_here_nat — is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4 23:55
the plateau hit me at 32 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
mine faded too

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

half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
5 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
slightly off topic but how many weeks before you noticed anything at 2
the appetite effect faded for me around 14 months and going up fixed it for a while, anyway
wk 1-4 0.25mg
wk 5-10 0.50mg (held 2 extra weeks)
wk 11-14 1.00mg
wk 15-26 1.70mg (held, long)
wk 27+ 2.40mgmy VendorInvestigate report on the Homopeptide vial came back 99 against a certificate saying 99.2
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that, anyway
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
vials not pens here
brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 15, which is one person and nothing more
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers, still working it out
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
