[Results] 42 weeks, 30kg, and hair loss was the hard part

PSA Slow Clap ×2 Sourced ×1 Clean Column ×3

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 2.5mg, week 48, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — sulphur burps — and tracked it for 10 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

Same experience. Week 61 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

Small correction: the trial was 5 weeks, not 18. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Same experience. Week 95 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

Same experience.

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

severe abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question

Went to A&E convinced it was pancreatitis. Lipase normal. It was gallstones. Get checked, do not post and wait.

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

Yeah, the fatigue hit on day 6 for me too, not day 1.

Yeah, the muscle cramps hit on day 21 for me too, not day 1.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

Is that before or after you stabilized your gallbladder?

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

u/iman_castellanos57 points·1 year ago·edited

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

nausea on day 2 is normal, nausea after week 14 is worth checking

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Did the muscle cramps start before or after the dose increase?

hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.

c/sideeffects rules
  1. Severe or escalating abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question. We will lock those threads with a pointer to help.
  2. Describe your dose, your week number and your titration speed — otherwise nobody can help.
  3. No diagnosing strangers. Share what happened to you.
  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.
