[Meta] the hair loss rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.
The claim: hair loss matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 13 months without either producing anything.
What would actually settle it is 7 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.
If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

Yeah, the fatigue hit on day 24 for me too, not day 1.
Strongly agree. Describe your dose, your week number, and your titration speed or nobody can help.
hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize
severe abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question
Same experience. Week 46 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.
IANAD and neither is anyone upvoting this
This is correct. The sulphur burps is horrible for three weeks and then just ends.
This is correct.
Adding to this: sulphur burps is doing more work than the comment implies.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 11–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

nausea on day 2 is normal, nausea after week 4 is worth checking
I am going to push back on this slightly.

The reflux was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. Week 74 me did not think I would make it to week 28.

Disagree on that part. 96.2% and 96.8% on the same vial is normal.
sulphur burps are disgusting but not dangerous, 7 weeks and they stopped
My constipation was worst at 0.25mg and better at 5mg, which makes no sense but it is real.
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

Is that before or after you stabilized your hair loss?
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
Not to be pedantic but gallbladder and fatigue are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
