[Discussion] the 2.4mg advice in here is 16 years out of date
Been lurking in c/survodutide for about 12 months and finally have something worth posting.
Short version: week 38, 1.0mg, and food noise is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 15 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.
What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 44.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
titration speed is food noise plus side effects, period
Are you on a pen or research vial? Because the trajectory is different.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
Stalled at 7.5mg, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 75. Very nearly went up. Glad I did not.
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
week 65 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
Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule
Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 97.4. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
How long were you at 7.5mg before you moved up?
the quiet is real. the food noise just stops.
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
stalled at 2.5mg, went up, and regretted it, the stall would have broken anyway
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule
week 43 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 49 weeks to accept.
I am going to push back on this slightly.
Did anything else change in the same window? Sleep, protein, steps, anything?

week 89 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
stalled at 12.5mg, went up, and regretted it, the stall would have broken anyway
Slight fix: the number was 99.3, not 93.7. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
my eGFR moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
