titrate slow

- two_three_lifts — the GIP explanation for easier nausea is plausible and i still treat it as a story not a fact, ill dig out the number 22:32
- two_three_lifts — SURMOUNT-OSA was the sleep apnoea trial and it is not a weight headline however its quoted 22:42
- two_three_lifts — plateaued at 7 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific 23:04
- two_three_lifts — went back to semaglutide after 10 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI, someone check my working 23:08
- dublin_dose — no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later 23:12
no clean conversion
folklore probably
the trials titrated every four weeks to a target, most people here stop at whatever works
easier gi for me
there is no clean conversion between the two, anyone giving you a ratio is guessing
back after 23 months, do i restart at 2.5 or pick up near where i left off
the GIP explanation for easier nausea is plausible and i still treat it as a story not a fact, ill dig out the number
im at 1.7 and thinking about 10, did anyone gain anything from that step
SURMOUNT-OSA was the sleep apnoea trial and it is not a weight headline however its quoted
is SURMOUNT-OSA the sleep apnoea one
follow up the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier, still working it out
checked the units twice
7.5 gang
plateaued at 7 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific
dual agonist, GIP as well as GLP-1, thats the whole difference in one line
went back to semaglutide after 10 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI, someone check my working
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
held 10 for 13 months and lost 15kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine
no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later
