Week 45 update. 46kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 85. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I…

Ferritin tanked from 2 to 39. Small appetite, reduced iron intake, nobody was testing it until I asked.

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

manufacturer savings programmes are worth checking monthly because the eligibility fine print changes. edit: mine changed twice in a year, both times narrowing.

the 2024 compounding rule change closed a major route overnight

This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on [Discussion] "tirz is stronger than sema" needs a comparator dose or it means nothing in c/tirzepatide · 4 points · 9 days ago
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
Adding to this: GIP is doing more work than the comment implies.

Did you stretch the dose interval?
comment on shortage: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/glp1aus · 10 points · 15 days ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify Mounjaro in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 1 months ago
Not to be pedantic but SURMOUNT and dual agonist are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Genuine question — what concentration were you at?

The dual agonism story is real. The appetite is physically different from semaglutide alone.

Switched from sema at 7.5mg to tirz at 2.4mg. Different drugs, cannot compare the doses directly.

My A1c moved faster on tirz than on sema at the same timepoint, which matches what people report.
