is the wiki up to date, and where do i start in it
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 1.7mg to 0.25mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 17 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have constipation I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 88 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
be kind, condescending answers are removed
The injection was scarier than the first time itself. 18 seconds and I was shocked it was the easiest part.

no dose recommendations for individuals, even here
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
pens versus vials, same molecule, different price
rudeness is removed faster than bad questions
week two nothing happening — yes, that is normal
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
This is a good question, genuinely.
what is titration — it means going slow on the escalation
link the wiki instead of retyping, but politely
what is a COA — certificate of analysis, document from the lab
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Week 13 or week 25?
Week 8 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 8.
What does the wiki say?

The basics question took me three weeks to understand. Wiki explained it eventually.

Adding to this: beginner is doing more work than the comment implies.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
Small correction: the trial was 4 weeks, not 32. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
