basics vs what is — genuinely asking which matters more

Answered Cold Box ×9 The Quiet One ×1 Long Haul ×2

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/meta repeats that normal is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 5 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Titration means going slow. The 2.4mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

Titration means going slow. The 10mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

u/yannick_salinasOP0 points·1 year ago

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Week 10 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 10.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

This is a good question, genuinely.

u/ruben_almeida37 points·1 year ago

week two nothing happening — yes, that is normal

replysharereportpermalink
u/asks_dumb_questions23 points·1 year ago

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
