comment on is 96.8% area% actually fine or am i being sold a rounding error in c/coa · 141 points · 1 days ago
and 96.8 would pass plenty of legitimate specifications. compendial limits for related substances are not 0.5% across the board — people in here have anchored on a number that came from marketing copy rather than from any standard.

comment on [Question] does anyone actually feel "done" or is that not a thing in c/maintenancephase · 1 points · 13 days ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.9.
Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 93.7% on the same vial is normal.

hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 28 weeks to accept.

My muscle cramps was worst at 10mg and better at 0.25mg, which makes no sense but it is real.

weight moves within 10kg and that is normal
Disagree on that part. 94.2% and 95.1% on the same vial is normal.
