[Discussion] the Wegovy advice in here is 16 years out of date
Genuinely asking, not being difficult.
Everyone in c/coldchain repeats that titration is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 3 threads of people agreeing with each other.
Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?
I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Strongly agree. If it is not working at 7.5mg after 25 weeks, going up is not automatically the answer.
Strongly agree.
Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.
titration speed is plateau plus side effects, period
week 24 on the pen, 46kg down, this is the answer
the quiet is real. the food noise just stops.
What colour is the pen? Wegovy and Ozempic use different formulations.
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 99.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
Not to be pedantic but plateau and food noise are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
week 3 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
okay but what dose of sema are you on
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
Did anything else change in the same window? Sleep, protein, steps, anything?
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
Week 95 for me and the honest summary is: 43kg down, sulphur burps manageable, and the quiet happened around week 23.
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.
week 84 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
the quiet is real. the food noise just stops.
the quiet is real.
Adding to this: weekly dosing is doing more work than the comment implies.
Yeah, 39 weeks on 0.5mg, same pattern, same timing.
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
