Highlights from this day
- cold_chain_cmdr — vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong 20:56
- u100_pat — going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution 21:24
- bea_reconstitutes — follow up back after 13 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher 21:56
thats STEP 1
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose, thats just me
same dose day
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
held there too
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule

steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing, i have it written down somewhere
Inter-lab diff for lot B-0329: 99.2% vs 99%. Within expected range.
seven days ish
SELECT wasnt weight
lot_number_louthe trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when…
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels, we shall see
quick one STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution

the appetite effect faded for me around 6 months and going up fixed it for a while, for what its worth
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
coming back to this i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
*Janoshik not the other one
cold_chain_cmdrmy PeptideMeter report on the MKM vial came back 97.4 against a certificate saying 99.2
restarted after 18 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
went too fast once
quick one does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
i stayed on 1.7 for 18 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
update on the earlier thing i held at 10 for 8 months and it was the best decision i made
vials not pens here
was SURPASS-2 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
⚠️8
update on the earlier thing the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
$120 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
[edited]follow up back after 13 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
