Germany: discontinuation, and what it actually costs here
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful. Setup: 0.5mg, week 89, injection-site soreness present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — discontinuation — and tracked it for 18 weeks. Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else…
Mechanistically the bit that matters is regain. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
