[Milestone] came off two blood pressure meds and one statin

Milestone Slow Clap ×3 Well Actually ×2

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 5mg, week 14, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — timeframe — and tracked it for 3 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

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

Strongly agree. NSV counts.

text removes the comparison trap

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Genuine question — what concentration were you at?

Stalled for 13 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 49.

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 8–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

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

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

Disagree on that part. 98.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
