c/semaglutide·posted 10 months ago by u/two_mil_or_one

the weekly dosing thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down

Side Effects Sourced ×1 Slow Clap ×3 Receipts ×2

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 1.0mg to 15mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 5 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 early fullness I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 80 reads it before doing the same thing.

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.

What colour is the pen? Wegovy and Ozempic use different formulations.

nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Did anything else change in the same window? Sleep, protein, steps, anything?

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

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

This is what I tell everyone in c/newbiequestions and they never believe me until week 57.

c/semaglutide rules
  1. No requests for a personal dose recommendation — describe what you did, not what someone else should do.
  2. Results posts need a timeframe and a starting point, or they get removed as unverifiable.
  3. Brand, compounded and research-grade material are all on-topic. Sourcing requests are not — that is c/vendorvetting.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
