restarted after 15 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time

DO

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

GG

FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure

my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem

FF

the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing

FF

held at 1.7 and lost 76lb over 12 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

DO

the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip

STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping

DO

did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go

mine faded too

TT

i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that

did anyone hold at 2.5 longer than four weeks before going up
