comment on wait so is 0.25 the "real" dose or is that just the starter in c/newbiequestions · 41 points · 2 days ago
you're not. give it the full four weeks before you even start asking that question.
comment on week two, nothing is happening, everyone says that is normal, is it in c/newbiequestions · 121 points · 2 days ago
i felt nothing until week five and then it arrived all at once. plenty of people describe exactly that.

that's genuinely lovely to hear, keep the log going, this granularity is rare and useful
comment on [Log] week 78, dose, weight, waist, sides, labs. nothing hidden. in c/dosinglogs · 13 points · 2 days ago
consistency is harder than the dose change

the ladder exists because jumping straight to a "real" dose is how you end up in the bathroom for three days. slow is the whole point, not a delay before the point.
comment on [Discussion] why did splitting/microdosing culture even take off here given the total lack of trial data in c/glp1science · 121 points · 3 days ago
speaking as someone who's very publicly pro-microdosing: I think part of it is also that the standard step sizes genuinely are rough for a meaningful chunk of people, and splitting/microdosing is the only lever available without a formal smaller-increment product existing. People reach for what's available.
comment on two weeks in, scale hasn’t moved, is that actually normal in c/semaglutide · 44 points · 3 days ago
if it makes you feel better I felt nothing for the first three weeks and I'm now 14 months in and fine

this is basically my whole account's reason for existing. 0.125 increments changed my nausea situation completely compared to the standard steps. following this log closely. edit: meant 0.125 increments, originally typo'd 0.25 which would defeat the entire point.
comment on two weeks in, scale hasn’t moved, is that actually normal in c/semaglutide · 176 points · 3 days ago
completely normal. 0.25 is a priming dose for a huge chunk of people, not a weight-loss dose. two weeks of nothing is the most common report on this exact question.
comment on [Regret] went 0.25 → 1.0 in three weeks and learned why that is dumb in c/darkspot · 234 points · 3 days ago
And the mirror of this: I went 0.125 increments and took nine months to reach a dose other people reached in five. Same place, less vomiting, and I never had a week I could not work.
The people who go slowly do not post as much because "nothing dramatic happened" is not a thread.
comment on [Failure] 61.2% purity on a vial i had already been using for six weeks in c/darkspot · 4 points · 5 days ago
decisions people would not make again
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 63 weeks to accept.
comment on [Trial Data] what the STEP 4 and SURMOUNT-4 withdrawal arms actually showed in c/tapering · 11 points · 6 days ago
Yeah, regain is not a failure.
comment on [Math] someone check my arithmetic before i draw this up in c/reconstitution · 17 points · 9 days ago
comment on [Explainer] units are volume, mg are mass, this is the #1 error on this site in c/reconstitution · 6 points · 11 days ago
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
comment on [Regain] appetite came back over five weeks, here is the timeline in c/tapering · 11 points · 12 days ago
say how long you were on and at what dose before taper
comment on [Failure] vendor vanished mid-order with 11 people waiting in c/darkspot · 8 points · 18 days ago
money lost to group buys
comment on [Concluded] 104 weeks. final numbers. thanks for reading. in c/dosinglogs · 44 points · 18 days ago
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on [Meta] the tapering rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/tapering · 2 points · 20 days ago
say how long you were on and at what dose before taper
comment on 24 months in and insulin syringe is still the thing I get wrong in c/reconstitution · 53 points · 22 days ago
Show the arithmetic. Where did the units come from?
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify mg/mL in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 1 months ago
Cored the stopper on my 22th draw because I kept using the same entry point.
Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.
