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

- rotterdam_recon — if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, someone check my working 17:44
- two_four_ceiling — while im here did anyone hold at 2.4 longer than four weeks before going up 17:47
- VialBot — Verification log updated: MKM — evidence added, status unchanged. 18:20
- gorse_gains — quick one how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week 20:57
seven days ish
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, someone check my working
while im here did anyone hold at 2.4 longer than four weeks before going up
not the same trial
im 21 months in at 5 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
Reminder for rotterdam_recon: dose day is today. Set 9 days ago.
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
SELECT wasnt weight
is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure, from memory
Verification log updated: MKM — evidence added, status unchanged.
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
the appetite effect faded for me around 24 months and going up fixed it for a while
brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
2.4 is the ceiling
steady state takes weeks
did anybody find a difference between WXT and pharmacy at the same 1
sorry to jump in STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
vials not pens here
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
genuine question what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
went too fast once
quick one how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
*Medutest not the other one
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
same dose day
