help me understand plateau, I have read the wiki twice
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 0.5mg to 12.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 20 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 reflux I…
How long were you at 12.5mg before you moved up?
pens are overpriced, research vials are research grade, same molecule different price
Tried the split-dose thing for 20 weeks. Felt slightly smoother, lost at exactly the same rate. Went back to weekly.
week 17 on the pen, 5kg down, this is the answer
week 11 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
stalled at 15mg, went up, and regretted it, the stall would have broken anyway
nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on
Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
