changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

compounded and brand felt the same to me at 7.5, which is one person and nothing more
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
my PeptideMeter report on the WWB vial came back 99.2 against a certificate saying 98.1
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
8 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
update on the earlier thing half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
steady state takes weeks
update on the earlier thing five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
went too fast once
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
lost about 28kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
€185 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
restarted after 19 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
coming back to this does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
plateaus move
