small win: normal stopped being a problem at week 26

Answered Clean Column ×5

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

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

I say this having got it wrong for 8 months. My eGFR 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.

no dose recommendations for individuals, even here

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

what is bac water — bacteriostatic water, preservative included

This is a good question, genuinely.

This is a good question, genuinely.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 91 weeks to accept.

the week one question is not dumb

the first time question is not dumb

u/mateusz_adebayo1 point·1 year ago

no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway

what is titration — it means going slow on the escalation

replysharereportpermalink
u/greta_perrin5 points·1 year ago

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

pens versus vials, same molecule, different price

Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.

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.
