[Discussion] can we stop arguing about plateau until somebody posts a number
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 1.7mg, week 20, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — Ozempic — and tracked it for 18 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.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Went up because the scale stalled, not because I needed to. Do not be me. The stall broke on its own at the higher dose.
my eGFR moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
Hard agree. Week 67 me needed this. Week 21 me is nodding smugly.
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
pens are overpriced, research vials are research grade, same molecule different price

Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
I am going to push back on this slightly.
Stalled at 0.25mg, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 5. Very nearly went up. Glad I did not.
nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on

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

titration speed is 2.4mg plus side effects, period

Did you test the vial you received or are we going off the vendor COA?
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
week 40 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on

Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
