i went to 15 and came back to 10, more suppression wasnt more useful for me

VV

held 10 for 1 months and lost 23kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine

MP

the GI difference held for me right up to 15, which isnt what a couple of people here found

did anyone go past 15 and was there any point to it

VV

the 20 vial in 5ml gives 4mg/ml which puts 5 on 30 units, nice round numbers
no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later

5 was where i first noticed it properly, 2.5 did almost nothing for me

SS

i log everything and my appetite curve looks flatter across the week than my semaglutide log did

SS

switched from 0.25 semaglutide and started at 2.5, took the slow route, never regretted it

coming off semaglutide, is there a conversion or do i restart at 2.5

dual agonist, GIP as well as GLP-1, thats the whole difference in one line

the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar

the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 25

LM

the sweet spot argument is really about effect per side effect, not a magic number

BB

right so did going from 0.25 semaglutide to 5 of this feel like a step down for anyone

did anyone find the GI easier than semaglutide at an equivalent effect

BB

does the GIP arm actually explain the easier nausea or is that hand waving

AT

while im here SURMOUNT was the weight programme and SURPASS was diabetes, thats the split people mix up

TY

the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier
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)

LM

licensed top is 15 weekly, past that is not a licensed dose and nobody here can tell you what it does

SS

plateaued at 26 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific

went back to semaglutide after 19 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI

i argued the sweet spot was nonsense and then spent 20 months at 7.5 not needing more

GB

40 units of a 10 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time
the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar

5 did nothing

GB

GIP plus GLP-1
