Highlights from this day
- provincial_pat — right so the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and said so 18:21
- evidence_or_not — 5 was where i first noticed it properly, 2.5 did almost nothing for me 18:36
- provincial_pat — the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar 18:45
- power_through_no — if youre coming off semaglutide the honest answer is start low and find out, theres no table, i think 19:47
- pharmac_pen — changed my mind about needing 15, i was chasing a number rather than an outcome 21:13
did anyone find the GI easier than semaglutide at an equivalent effect
12 did nothing extra over 10 for me and that still holds a year later
anyone stopped at 10 and stayed there for months
i log everything and my appetite curve looks flatter across the week than my semaglutide log did, ill dig out the number
*PeptideMeter not the other one

5 was where i first noticed it properly, 2.5 did almost nothing for me
wk 1-4 2.5mg
wk 5-8 5.0mg
wk 9-20 7.5mg <- stayed here
wk 21-24 10.0mg (no extra benefit for me)
wk 25+ 7.5mg (came back down)the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar

slightly off topic but SURMOUNT was the weight programme and SURPASS was diabetes, thats the split people mix up
went back to semaglutide after 10 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI
for the archive licensed top is 15 weekly, past that is not a licensed dose and nobody here can tell you what it does
the sweet spot argument is really about effect per side effect, not a magic number
dual agonist, GIP as well as GLP-1, thats the whole difference in one line
does switching from semaglutide need a gap or do you just start
the 20 vial in 1.5ml gives 10mg/ml which puts 2 on 5 units, nice round numbers
coming off semaglutide, is there a conversion or do i restart at 2.5
at 5 my appetite went completely and i dropped back a step, eating nothing isnt a win
is the sweet spot argument about effect or about side effects
no clean conversion
if youre coming off semaglutide the honest answer is start low and find out, theres no table, i think

titrate slow
plateaued at 8 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific
does the GIP arm actually explain the easier nausea or is that hand waving
coming back to this went back to semaglutide after 17 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI, ill dig out the number
40 units of a 2 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time
SURMOUNT-OSA was the sleep apnoea trial and it is not a weight headline however its quoted

i went to 15 and came back to 10, more suppression wasnt more useful for me
changed my mind about needing 15, i was chasing a number rather than an outcome
