small win: normal stopped being a problem at week 6
Been lurking in c/hplc for about 15 months and finally have something worth posting.
Short version: week 68, 1.0mg, and what is is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 33 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 62.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 14–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
link the wiki instead of retyping, but politely
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
what is titration — it means going slow on the escalation

This is a good question, genuinely.
pens versus vials, same molecule, different price
The beginner question took me three weeks to understand. Wiki explained it eventually.
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

no dose recommendations for individuals, even here
Small correction: the trial was 21 weeks, not 14. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with beginner, not with what you concluded.
Not convinced.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
be kind, condescending answers are removed
Slight fix: the number was 95.1, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
is this normal week 10 — yes, probably
is this normal week 17 — yes, probably
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
