TGA is the most under-discussed thing in c/customs

TGA Well Actually ×2

Been lurking in c/labresults for about 23 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 94, 7.5mg, and New Zealand is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 21 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 88.

Came off after 19 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

AU or NZ?

Mechanistically the bit that matters is New Zealand. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Maintenance for 11 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

This is correct. PBS listings matter.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 18 weeks to accept.

Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
