comment on my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether long term is why in c/maintenancephase · 129 points · 4 months ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is regain. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on switched from 0.5mg to 2.4mg and the constipation got better, not worse in c/maintenancephase · 220 points · 4 months ago
comment on is it normal to get reflux at week 9 in c/glp1canada · 27 points · 4 months ago
public coverage status differs
comment on heart rate: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/sideeffects · 59 points · 4 months ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 32 weeks to accept.
comment on the step therapy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/insurancefights · 57 points · 5 months ago
Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
comment on tried province for 15 weeks. here is what happened. in c/glp1canada · 88 points · 5 months ago
name your province, coverage is provincial
comment on unpopular opinion: gallbladder is massively overrated in c/sideeffects · 230 points · 5 months ago
Did the nausea start before or after the dose increase?
comment on [Results] 7 weeks, 41kg, and formulary was the hard part in c/insurancefights · 11 points · 5 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [PSA] formulary is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/insurancefights · 9 points · 5 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 11–5.
Adding to this: formulary is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on goal weight is the most under-discussed thing in c/coldchain in c/maintenancephase · 82 points · 6 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 [Vendor] QST order #10 — Spain, 27 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/tirzepatide · 200 points · 6 months ago
Cosigning. The GIP contribution is real and the side effects are not simply scaled versions.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for co-agonism posts in c/cagrilintide · 297 points · 6 months ago
long-acting amylin is co-agonism, different satiety profile
comment on is it normal to get nausea at week 64 in c/insurancefights · 25 points · 6 months ago
denial reason codes matter, ask for the actual code
comment on what changed for me between week 50 and week 4 in c/sideeffects · 26 points · 6 months ago
the reflux passes. i promise. not medical advice.
comment on [Results] 46 weeks on 1.7mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/cagrilintide · 64 points · 6 months ago
not approved anywhere, keep posts descriptive, not instructional
comment on the semaglutide question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/semaglutide · 33 points · 7 months ago
Hard agree. Week 82 me needed this. Week 33 me is nodding smugly.
comment on switched from 7.5mg to 15mg and the nausea got better, not worse in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 7 months ago
This matches the trial data. SURMOUNT-1 was 98.0% body weight at 5 weeks.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across VendorInvestigate and PeptideMeter — 98.0% and 98.4% in c/sideeffects · 93 points · 7 months ago
The fatigue was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. Week 53 me did not think I would make it to week 10.
comment on anyone else notice 15mg kicking in around week 24 in c/tirzepatide · 43 points · 8 months ago
This matches the trial data. SURMOUNT-1 was 99.2% body weight at 20 weeks.
comment on anyone else notice 15mg kicking in around week 24 in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 8 months ago
Tried both. Sema worked, tirz worked better for me, but my sulphur burps profile was worse on tirz.
