is it normal to get constipation at week 14

Question Receipts ×7 Slow Clap ×2

Right, the oral GLP-1 question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 20 data points over 4 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 65, not week 19. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

ATTAIN and ACHIEVE are phase 20 trials

phase 3 data is interesting, phase 23 will tell the real story

This is correct. ATTAIN data is phase 8.

the small molecule is whether this actually works long-term

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

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

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

u/santiago_villalobos13 points·7 months ago

Not to be pedantic but orforglipron and ATTAIN are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

u/maren_sorensenOP13 points·7 months ago

Week 61 for me and the honest summary is: 9kg down, constipation manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

Strongly agree. The supply impact would be huge.

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.

Came off after 42 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

phase 8 data is interesting, phase 30 will tell the real story

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

u/canada_coverage6 points·7 months ago

What are you comparing it against though?

u/purity_pedantanalytical3 points·7 months ago

oral non-peptide agonist is orforglipron, no food restrictions

u/zeynep_ndiaye0 points·7 months ago

the nausea profile is speculative at this stage

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

u/meera_sandvik10 points·7 months ago

Yeah, small molecule changes the whole game.

u/gustav_solberg5 points·7 months ago

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

About c/orforglipron

The small-molecule oral: why a non-peptide agonist escapes the absorption problems of oral semaglutide, what the ATTAIN and ACHIEVE readouts showed, and what a pill with no refrigeration requirement would do to the entire supply conversation this site is built around.
