[Question] formulary — what am I missing here
Quick one. Canada here.
province works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.
Specifics: the route I used took 23 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.
Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.
best — the order this archive was captured in

Not to be pedantic but province and province are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
I am going to push back on this slightly.

Strongly agree.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
Maintenance for 18 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
Week 62 for me and the honest summary is: 25kg down, muscle cramps manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
