my triglycerides moved and I cannot work out whether FLOW is why
Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/bloodwork repeats that SELECT is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search…

comment on regain — my 14-week log, condensed into one table in c/maintenancephase · -29 points · 1 year ago
the 1.7mg dose works fine for 36 weeks of the month
comment on what changed for me between week 40 and week 83 in c/sideeffects · 187 points · 1 year ago
hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize
comment on lowest effective dose is the most under-discussed thing in c/trialwatch in c/maintenancephase · 59 points · 1 year ago
What dose are you on?
comment on the STEP question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/trialwatch · 59 points · 1 year ago
SELECT reported a hazard ratio hazard ratio but the absolute event rate is what changes clinical practice.
comment on goal weight — 16 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/maintenancephase · 1 points · 1 year ago
food noise returns but not always immediately
Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.
comment on anyone else notice long term kicking in around week 20 in c/maintenancephase · 68 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
comment on [Results] 46 weeks on 1.0mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/semaglutide · 175 points · 1 year ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on nobody warned me about fatigue and I would have liked the warning in c/sideeffects · 275 points · 1 year ago
Same experience. Week 50 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

nobody should be giving this to anyone without extensive monitoring
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about STEP until somebody posts a number in c/trialwatch · 28 points · 2 years ago
Yeah, absolute numbers matter more than the press release.
Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 97.4% on the same vial is normal.
comment on does retatrutide actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/retatrutide · 148 points · 2 years ago
Not to be pedantic but TRIUMPH and dose escalation are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.

Small correction: the trial was 15 weeks, not 33. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
comment on switched from 1.0mg to 2.5mg and the fatigue got better, not worse in c/retatrutide · 5 points · 2 years ago
retatrutide is not approved anywhere for human use, posts must not read as instructions

the glucagon component changes the side effect profile, not just the efficacy
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for hair loss posts in c/sideeffects · 0 points · 2 years ago
Are you on a pen or research vial? The formulation changes the profile.
comment on week 36 check-in — 27kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 123 points · 2 years ago
fair enough
comment on week 56 check-in — 46kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/retatrutide · 0 points · 2 years ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on [Vendor] QST order #19 — Denmark, 21 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/sideeffects · 14 points · 2 years ago
Did the injection-site soreness start before or after the dose increase?

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 18–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
