stalled for 17 weeks at 2.4mg and I refuse to panic this time

first time. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.

Everything else people worry about in c/scamalerts is downstream of it. Titration speed, early fullness, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort first time out first, and almost nobody does.

I say this having got it wrong for 18 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.

The injection was scarier than the basics itself. 6 seconds and I was shocked it was the easiest part.

This is a good question, genuinely.

This is a good question, genuinely.

Disagree on that part. 98.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

u/graph_it_gary580 points·2 years ago

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 4.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Titration means going slow. The 15mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.

Titration means going slow. The 2.4mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

Titration means going slow. The 0.25mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

u/halima_mbeki217 points·2 years ago

pens versus vials, same molecule, different price

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.

  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
