comment on stalled for 17 weeks at 0.25mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/semaglutide · 15 points · 1 months ago
titration speed is semaglutide plus side effects, period
comment on someone explain step therapy to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/insurancefights · 12 points · 2 months ago
comment on [Discussion] the reflux advice in here is 18 years out of date in c/sideeffects · 27 points · 2 months ago
Yeah, the sulphur burps hit on day 3 for me too, not day 1.
comment on week 16 check-in — 17kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 2 months ago
Lost 13kg and gained a genuinely irritating amount of interest in analytical chemistry. This site did that to me.
comment on week 16 check-in — 17kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 80 points · 2 months ago
Stalled at 0.5mg, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 45. Very nearly went up. Glad I did not.
comment on week 16 check-in — 17kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 319 points · 2 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 18–5.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 71 weeks to accept.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about Mounjaro in c/tirzepatide · 56 points · 2 months ago
Vial-splitting is on-topic here. Do not ask about pen-cracking, that goes in c/reconstitution.
comment on help me understand gallbladder, I have read the wiki twice in c/sideeffects · 60 points · 3 months ago
week 67 and the fatigue is finally getting better
comment on three years of lowest effective dose threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/maintenancephase · 3 points · 3 months ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on tried Wegovy for 4 weeks. here is what happened. in c/semaglutide · 562 points · 3 months ago
the constipation passes. i promise. not medical advice.
comment on does gallbladder actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/sideeffects · 265 points · 3 months ago
Yeah, the the food-noise thing hit on day 5 for me too, not day 1.
comment on titration — 20 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/semaglutide · 50 points · 3 months ago
Lost 45kg and gained a genuinely irritating amount of interest in analytical chemistry. This site did that to me.
comment on am I the only one who found titration harder than the injections in c/semaglutide · 7 points · 3 months ago
the quiet is real. the food noise just stops.
comment on [Discussion] amylin is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/cagrilintide · -33 points · 4 months ago
The satiety on amylin analogs is described as physically different. GLP-1 reduces appetite noise, amylin does co-agonism.
comment on switched from 5mg to 2.5mg and the nausea got better, not worse in c/maintenancephase · 61 points · 4 months ago
the 7.5mg dose works fine for 56 weeks of the month
comment on [Question] Australia — has anyone got a straight answer on dual agonist in c/tirzepatide · 21 points · 4 months ago
the 15mg is the top of the pen, not the required dose
comment on my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether long term is why in c/maintenancephase · 129 points · 4 months ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is regain. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on switched from 0.5mg to 2.4mg and the constipation got better, not worse in c/maintenancephase · 220 points · 4 months ago
comment on is it normal to get reflux at week 9 in c/glp1canada · 27 points · 4 months ago
public coverage status differs
comment on heart rate: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/sideeffects · 59 points · 4 months ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 32 weeks to accept.
