Highlights from this day
whats the plateau pattern here, same as semaglutide or different
👀16🔥2📈2
40 units of a 2 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time
i argued the sweet spot was nonsense and then spent 22 months at 7.5 not needing more
*that should say weekly
switched last year
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)how many weeks at 7.5 before you knew it was enough
10 was enough
is the 40 vial the common one or do people use 10
🧊15😂2
15 is the top
unrelated but no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later
GI was noticeably easier for me than semaglutide at what felt like the same appetite effect
the GIP explanation for easier nausea is plausible and i still treat it as a story not a fact
update on the earlier thing licensed top is 15 weekly, past that is not a licensed dose and nobody here can tell you what it does, we shall see
the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar
right so restarted at 2.5 after 25 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists
held 10 for 25 months and lost 30kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine
does the appetite effect feel different or just stronger
the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier

the 40 vial in 2ml gives 10mg/ml which puts 0.5 on 8 units, nice round numbers
went back to semaglutide after 25 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI
[edited]£185 for a 15 vial is roughly what ive paid for the last year
is there a reason to titrate slower than the four week schedule
i sat at 7.5 for 17 months and never needed more, which is where the folklore comes from
[edited]same plateau here
plateaued at 8 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific, we shall see
at 15 the GI came back for me, so my easier profile claim only applies below that
is the sweet spot argument about effect or about side effects
the GI difference held for me right up to 15, which isnt what a couple of people here found
easier gi for me

i log everything and my appetite curve looks flatter across the week than my semaglutide log did
the trials titrated every four weeks to a target, most people here stop at whatever works
