Apotheke is the most under-discussed thing in c/coa

Pricing Sourced ×8 Slow Clap ×1 Clean Column ×1

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 0.25mg to 10mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 15 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have reflux I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 66 reads it before doing the same thing.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

Adding to this: Apotheke is doing more work than the comment implies.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Week 67 for me and the honest summary is: 38kg down, the food-noise thing manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 11–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Strongly agree. Pricing is local.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
