Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/bloodwork repeats that SELECT is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search…

comment on week 11 check-in — 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/retatrutide · 56 points · 11 months ago
retatrutide is not approved anywhere for human use, posts must not read as instructions
comment on [Discussion] the gallbladder advice in here is 17 years out of date in c/sideeffects · 66 points · 11 months ago
Same experience. Week 2 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring Wegovy at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/semaglutide · 85 points · 12 months ago
my TSH moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on genuine question about titration that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/semaglutide · 474 points · 1 year ago
pens are overpriced, research vials are research grade, same molecule different price
comment on switched from 1.0mg to 2.5mg and the sulphur burps got better, not worse in c/sideeffects · 34 points · 1 year ago
Are you on a pen or research vial?

comment on switched from 1.0mg to 2.5mg and the sulphur burps got better, not worse in c/sideeffects · 18 points · 1 year ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on phase 2 — my 12-week log, condensed into one table in c/retatrutide · 6 points · 1 year ago
nobody should be giving this to anyone without extensive monitoring
comment on [Results] 16 weeks on 15mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 1 year ago
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
comment on SELECT — 9 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/trialwatch · 75 points · 1 year ago
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
comment on genuine question about dose escalation that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/retatrutide · -36 points · 1 year ago
heart rate and dose escalation need actual measurements, not impressions
comment on regain vs dose stretching — genuinely asking which matters more in c/maintenancephase · 13 points · 1 year ago
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
comment on [Lab] 4th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part in c/trialwatch · 45 points · 1 year ago
SELECT reported a SURMOUNT hazard ratio but the absolute event rate is what changes clinical practice.
comment on [Lab] 4th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part in c/trialwatch · 43 points · 1 year ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on [Lab] 4th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part in c/trialwatch · 3 points · 1 year ago
STEP 1 readout: 94.2% mean weight loss, absolute numbers matter. Spread around that mean is enormous.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about dose escalation in c/retatrutide · 179 points · 1 year ago
Research use material only, no human-use approval anywhere. Posts must describe what happened, not instruct strangers.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify food noise in c/semaglutide · 352 points · 1 year ago
okay but what dose of sema are you on
comment on [Results] 37 weeks, 16kg, and phase 2 was the hard part in c/retatrutide · 72 points · 1 year ago
the glucagon component changes the side effect profile, not just the efficacy
comment on nausea — my 9-week log, condensed into one table in c/sideeffects · 139 points · 1 year ago
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
comment on dose escalation: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/retatrutide · 10 points · 1 year ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
