Highlights from this day
- cold_chain_cmdr — how long before the dual thing was noticeable to you 13:04
- blind_submit — genuine question SURMOUNT was the weight programme and SURPASS was diabetes, thats the split people mix up, for what its worth 15:39
- karl_fischer — i went to 15 and came back to 10, more suppression wasnt more useful for me 15:44
- karl_fischer — went back to semaglutide after 25 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI 15:49
- karl_fischer — i sat at 7.5 for 26 months and never needed more, which is where the folklore comes from 15:50
checked the units twice
10 was enough
titrate slow
🎉9
dual agonist, GIP as well as GLP-1, thats the whole difference in one line, happy to be corrected
folklore probably
SURMOUNT is weight
the GIP explanation for easier nausea is plausible and i still treat it as a story not a fact
[edited]15 is the top

anyone tracked whether the GI difference held at the top doses
the trials titrated every four weeks to a target, most people here stop at whatever works
restarted at 2.5 after 26 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists
changed my mind about needing 15, i was chasing a number rather than an outcome
anyone got a 2 recon they like for the 2 vials
5 did nothing
for the archive GI was noticeably easier for me than semaglutide at what felt like the same appetite effect
if youre coming off semaglutide the honest answer is start low and find out, theres no table
licensed top is 15 weekly, past that is not a licensed dose and nobody here can tell you what it does
the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar
5 was where i first noticed it properly, 2.5 did almost nothing for me
same plateau here
€240 for a 40 vial is roughly what ive paid for the last year, i have it written down somewhere
back after 23 months, do i restart at 2.5 or pick up near where i left off
the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier
easier gi for me
7.5 gang
🎉1👍2
is SURMOUNT-OSA the sleep apnoea one
40 units of a 2.5 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time
follow up is there a reason to titrate slower than the four week schedule
genuine question SURMOUNT was the weight programme and SURPASS was diabetes, thats the split people mix up, for what its worth
is 7.5 really the sweet spot or is that just channel folklore
