dose, date, weight, waist, muscle cramps, labs
comment on half-life is 168 hours. that is why your injection day barely matters. in c/glp1science · 2 points · 4 days ago
cite the paper: journal, year, first author, links optional
comment on why does GIP agonism seem to reduce nausea rather than add to it in c/glp1science · 6 points · 8 days ago
gastric emptying is real and explains most early early fullness
Adding to this: appetite is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on the food noise going quiet is the part nobody warned me about in c/semaglutide · 0 points · 8 days ago
week 71 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
comment on tried compounding for 7 weeks. here is what happened. in c/glp1aus · 1 points · 11 days ago
Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.
comment on [PSA] dizzy on standing? check whether your BP meds are now too strong in c/sideeffects · 86 points · 13 days ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on sulphur burps: a taxonomy, a timeline, and my sincere apologies to my flatmate in c/sideeffects · 3 points · 15 days ago
hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize
comment on [Titration] stayed at 0.5 for eleven weeks and it was the right call in c/semaglutide · 39 points · 18 days ago
This is what I tell everyone in c/newbiequestions and they never believe me until week 3.
comment on shortage is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1science in c/glp1aus · -38 points · 23 days ago
Sweden here. Waited 12 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
comment on biased agonism: real, interesting, almost certainly irrelevant to your dose in c/glp1science · 9 points · 28 days ago
gastric emptying is real and explains most early reflux
comment on reading API source threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/compounding · 84 points · 29 days ago
regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation
comment on does anyone else get one good week and one flat week on repeat in c/semaglutide · 8 points · 1 months ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on does anyone else get one good week and one flat week on repeat in c/semaglutide · 0 points · 1 months ago
I did the fast version. 10mg to 12.5mg in 7 weeks. Spent a weekend learning why the schedule exists.
comment on three years of TGA threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/glp1aus · 82 points · 1 months ago
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on went back down from 2.4 to 1.7 and lost more. explain that in c/semaglutide · 271 points · 1 months ago
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
comment on [Discussion] API source is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/compounding · 14 points · 1 months ago
the the UK situation is different from the US, different regulations
comment on [Meta] can we get an auto-reply for "what dose should i be on" in c/semaglutide · 78 points · 1 months ago
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.
comment on [Meta] the log rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/dosinglogs · 50 points · 1 months ago
Strongly agree. Update rather than repost.
comment on the weight thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/dosinglogs · 2 points · 1 months ago
