2.5 is explicitly a starting dose

The message this came from
- split_dose_sam — 2.5 is explicitly a starting dose and not a maintenance dose on the label, about four months to settle went back to semaglutide after 21 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI 22:27
came back down
not in severity
titrate slow
partly, four months to feel steady

restarted at 2.5 after 23 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists, held at 1.7 for months
what did FLOW show about the higher doses specifically
licensed top is 15 weekly, past that is not a licensed dose and nobody here can tell you what it does

same plateau here
on the conversion folklore no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later, 2.5 is a starting dose not a maintenance one

anyone sat at the top and then come back down, and what happened
