normal: what the trials say vs what this community says
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 7.5mg to 2.4mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 13 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 early fullness I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 93 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in

what is titration — it means going slow on the escalation
Are you on a pen or vial?
Not to be pedantic but beginner and normal are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
what is a COA — certificate of analysis, document from the lab
Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.
Week 13 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 13.
Small correction: the trial was 11 weeks, not 22. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway
the first time question is not dumb
link the wiki instead of retyping, but politely

Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.
Small correction: the trial was 14 weeks, not 10. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

week two nothing happening — yes, that is normal

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 3.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 20–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
be kind, condescending answers are removed
Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.
Week 18 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 18.
