nobody warned me about early fullness and I would have liked the warning

Titration Long Haul ×2 Well Actually ×1

Week 24 update. 40kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 64.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

titration speed is weekly dosing plus side effects, period

What colour is the pen? Wegovy and Ozempic use different formulations.

week 10 on the pen, 43kg down, this is the answer

u/salma_vasquez63 points·2 years ago

Strongly agree. If it is not working at 1.7mg after 64 weeks, going up is not automatically the answer.

u/nikhil_teixeira28 points·2 years ago

Yeah, 24 weeks on 5mg, same pattern, same timing.

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

week 32 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder

Slight fix: the number was 98.4, not 98.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule

my ApoB moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it

u/kavya_radich43 points·2 years ago

Strongly agree.

Adding to this: food noise is doing more work than the comment implies.

About c/semaglutide

Everything semaglutide: branded pens, compounded vials, oral formulations and the research-grade material people reconstitute themselves. Titration schedules, side-effect management, plateau troubleshooting and long-term maintenance. Dose questions are welcome; "what dose should I take" answers are not, because nobody here is your prescriber.

c/semaglutide rules
  1. No requests for a personal dose recommendation — describe what you did, not what someone else should do.
  2. Results posts need a timeframe and a starting point, or they get removed as unverifiable.
  3. Brand, compounded and research-grade material are all on-topic. Sourcing requests are not — that is c/vendorvetting.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
