[Explainer] steady state at 4–5 weeks, and what that means for your titration

Explainer

incretin. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.

Everything else people worry about in c/intlshipping is downstream of it. Titration speed, muscle cramps, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort incretin out first, and almost nobody does.

I say this having got it wrong for 5 months. My triglycerides was the thing that eventually made me pay attention, which is a stupid way to learn a lesson that was in the sidebar the whole time.

Is that mechanism or speculation?

Strongly agree. Central appetite is real but people overstate it.

the half-life is appetite, affects steady state timing

Not to be pedantic but mechanism and pharmacology are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Adding to this: mechanism is doing more work than the comment implies.

the 16-day half-life means week 16 is still ramp-up pharmacokinetically

The half-life is 11 hours, which means week 11 is genuinely still ramp-up. Week 38 is steady state.
