the first time question is not dumb
comment on switched from 0.25mg to 1.7mg and the constipation got better, not worse in c/maintenancephase · 60 points · 2 months ago
saved.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 55 weeks to accept.

regain is not a moral failing
comment on does basics actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/newbiequestions · 1 points · 2 months ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.

This is a good question, genuinely.
first time. That is the whole post, but I will justify it. Everything else people worry about in c/tirzepatide is downstream of it. Titration speed, reflux, the endless…
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about heart rate in c/sideeffects · 130 points · 2 months ago
Yeah, the nausea hit on day 11 for me too, not day 1.
comment on sulphur burps is the most under-discussed thing in c/orforglipron in c/sideeffects · 88 points · 2 months ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with nausea, not with what you concluded.
comment on someone explain beginner to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/newbiequestions · 3 points · 3 months ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on am I the only one who found normal harder than the injections in c/newbiequestions · 19 points · 3 months ago
is this normal week 3 — yes, probably
comment on [Results] 22 weeks, 45kg, and maintenance was the hard part in c/maintenancephase · 213 points · 3 months ago
Regain on a taper is expected. 13% back over 24 weeks, which matches the discontinuation data. Planned for it.
comment on three years of dose stretching threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/maintenancephase · 0 points · 3 months ago
Regain on a taper is expected. 6% back over 24 weeks, which matches the discontinuation data. Planned for it.
comment on switched from 5mg to 2.5mg and the nausea got better, not worse in c/maintenancephase · 0 points · 4 months ago
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
comment on [Question] the UK — has anyone got a straight answer on what is in c/newbiequestions · 63 points · 4 months ago
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
comment on [Results] 62 weeks, 45kg, and FLOW was the hard part in c/trialwatch · 83 points · 4 months ago
STEP 1 readout: 99.3% mean weight loss, absolute numbers matter. Spread around that mean is enormous.
comment on [Results] 62 weeks, 45kg, and FLOW was the hard part in c/trialwatch · 17 points · 4 months ago
Yeah, absolute numbers matter more than the press release.

SURMOUNT-4 discontinuation arm showed regain. That is the reality of a chronic disease treatment, not a failure.
Right, the TRIUMPH question again, but with numbers this time. I have 16 data points over 24 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance,…
