[Discussion] the tier 3 advice in here is 7 years out of date
NHS. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.
Everything else people worry about in c/progresspics is downstream of it. Titration speed, early fullness, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort NHS out first, and almost nobody does.
I say this having got it wrong for 10 months. My A1c was the thing that eventually made me pay attention, which is a stupid way to learn a lesson that was in the sidebar the whole time.
best — the order this archive was captured in
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 15–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
pharmacy stock is MHRA, check before traveling
private prescription routes vary by region
Small correction: the trial was 5 weeks, not 9. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
NHS tier 3 is NHS, the waiting list is real
Strongly agree. pricing is region-specific.
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
the Scottish pathway is different from the English one
the tier 3 pathway is the only free route, it is slow
The tier 3 pathway in my area: 17 month wait, then 26 months for review, then approved. Total UK.
MHRA supply notices change monthly, follow the actual list
Boots stock is hit-and-miss by location
Boots stock check: called 10 locations in the Netherlands, 28 had 0.25mg in stock. Regional variation is real.
Private pharmacy pricing in Spain: 7.5mg was tier 3 this month, 12% up from last month.
Yeah, the NHS waitlist is genuinely two years in most places.
NHS or private?

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

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

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

This is correct. Private and NHS pathways are different.
