[PSA] 0.25 for four weeks is not a suggestion, it is the whole plan
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 14 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 sulphur burps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 23 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with 2.4mg, not with what you concluded.
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
Disagree.
Adding to this: weekly dosing is doing more work than the comment implies.
my A1c moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
Hard agree. Week 29 me needed this. Week 78 me is nodding smugly.
titration speed is titration plus side effects, period
titration speed is titration plus side effects, period
Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Maintenance for 5 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
Hard agree. Week 40 me needed this. Week 89 me is nodding smugly.
week 4 on the pen, 32kg down, this is the answer
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
Strongly agree. If it is not working at 12.5mg after 49 weeks, going up is not automatically the answer.
the sulphur burps passes. i promise. not medical advice.
