Strongly agree. The safety story is separate.

Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
comment on [Discussion] testing is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/vendorvetting · 60 points · 2 years ago
independent test or vendor COA, which is it

Yeah, Homopeptide took 4 days and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.

Tried the lowest-effective approach. 2.4mg worked for 19 weeks, then cravings returned. 1.0mg was the actual floor.

Maintenance for 9 months now. 0.5mg every 3 days, weight 42±9kg. Found the rhythm.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is lowest effective dose. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.

the VendorInvestigate number or it did not happen

step therapy documentation is the weapon, use it
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on week 21 check-in — 16kg down, reflux manageable, one thing confusing me in c/vendorvetting · 1 points · 2 years ago
Cosigning the evidence standard. Receipts make the community.
comment on is it normal to get nausea at week 34 in c/maintenancephase · -11 points · 2 years ago
nobody posts about this part and it is the longest part
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 50 weeks to accept.
comment on week 41 check-in — 32kg down, nausea manageable, one thing confusing me in c/insurancefights · 181 points · 2 years ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 15–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

the wiki is the source
comment on my eGFR moved and I cannot work out whether moderation is why in c/meta · 44 points · 2 years ago
Second this question. I have wondered about meta for 22 months and never seen a straight answer.
comment on am I the only one who found disclosure harder than the injections in c/meta · 95 points · 2 years ago
Stalled for 11 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 46.
