comment on fake COA: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/scamalerts · 89 points · 8 months ago
PDF metadata said the COA was created in a browser four months after the date printed on the page. Worth flagging.
comment on external review is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1muscle in c/insurancefights · 195 points · 8 months ago
Did you get step therapy or outright denial?
comment on small win: satiety stopped being a problem at week 30 in c/cagrilintide · 12 points · 8 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [Question] is 97.9% actually fine or am I being sold a rounding error in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 9 months ago
My the food-noise thing was worst at 0.5mg and better at 10mg, which makes no sense and I have stopped trying to explain it.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on 21 months in and sulphur burps is still the thing I get wrong in c/sideeffects · 73 points · 9 months ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on reading Wegovy threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/semaglutide · 69 points · 9 months ago
My early fullness was worst at 2.5mg and better at 2.4mg, which makes no sense and I have stopped trying to explain it.
Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Question] Sweden — has anyone got a straight answer on fatigue in c/sideeffects · 386 points · 10 months ago
the food-noise thing stops around week 92 for most people
comment on [Discussion] the cagrilintide advice in here is 21 years out of date in c/cagrilintide · 10 points · 10 months ago
amylin is not a GLP-1, posts conflating them get corrected
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify SURPASS in c/tirzepatide · 76 points · 11 months ago
Strongly agree.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 34 weeks to accept.
comment on the formulary thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/insurancefights · 28 points · 11 months ago
This is correct. Appeal letters work.
comment on stalled for 9 weeks at 5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/semaglutide · 85 points · 11 months ago
Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule
comment on [Vendor] QST order #20 — Denmark, 27 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/maintenancephase · 35 points · 11 months ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 29 weeks to accept.
comment on anyone else notice SURMOUNT kicking in around week 20 in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 11 months ago
the appetite change on tirz is more than just reduced hunger, it is different machinery

lowest effective dose is lowest effective dose, find it or stay higher
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify special authorization in c/glp1canada · 6 points · 11 months ago
private plans vary by employer
comment on unpopular opinion: 15mg is massively overrated in c/tirzepatide · 249 points · 1 year ago
nope, the equivalence to semaglutide is not known, comparing 15mg tirz to 2.4mg sema is guessing
comment on [Meta] the SURMOUNT rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 1 year ago

comment on [Question] Mounjaro — what am I missing here in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 1 year ago
Vial-splitting is on-topic here. Do not ask about pen-cracking, that goes in c/reconstitution.
comment on [Question] Mounjaro — what am I missing here in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 1 year ago
Cosigning. The GIP contribution is real and the side effects are not simply scaled versions.
comment on [Question] Mounjaro — what am I missing here in c/tirzepatide · 0 points · 1 year ago
The SURMOUNT readouts are real but less consistent than STEP. Some people plateau earlier on tirz.
