switched from 0.25mg to 2.4mg and reflux got better, not worse, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it.
Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 0.25mg and 2.4mg.
The five things that would have saved me the most time in month one.
One: the first month is a tolerance check, not a results phase. Two: appetite usually changes before the scale does, so watch that instead. Three: write the concentration and the date on the vial the moment you reconstitute anything. Four: the loud posts are not the middle of the distribution. Five: nobody here — including whoever answers most confidently — is your clinician.
None of that is advice about what to take. It is the shape of the first few weeks, which is what I actually wanted and could not find.
Took three weeks to understand titration and about ten seconds once somebody explained it as a tolerance ladder.
Happy to answer the boring questions. Those are usually the ones worth asking.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Appetite change and weight change are different measurements on different timescales. The first is usually noticed first and the second lags it.
Right, and writing the concentration on the vial is the single best habit anyone here can start with.

This is the answer. Everything else in the thread is elaboration on it.
write the concentration on the vial, you will thank yourself
Bacteriostatic water contains a preservative, which is what makes repeated entry into a vial reasonable. Sterile water does not, and the two are not interchangeable for that purpose.

appetite change usually shows up before the scale does
Which country? Half the answers here only apply in one place.
Removed the specific dose recommendation. Describe what you did; do not tell a new member what to take.
Small correction, said kindly: those are two different products with similar names, and the difference matters for a multi-draw vial.
research-use-only material is not approved for human use, and that belongs in every beginner thread
week two with nothing happening is normal
Push back on the advice above: nobody here can tell a member what dose to take, however confidently it is phrased.
Agreed — week two with nothing on the scale is so common it should be in the sidebar. It probably is.

Adding the one habit worth starting today: write the concentration on the vial.
Cosigning the wiki point, and also: ask anyway. The wiki cannot tell you it understood your question.
I would not panic about that. It is on the list of ordinary first-month experiences.
Research-use-only material is not approved for human use. That is a plain statement of regulatory fact and it belongs in every beginner thread.
I confused two very similar words on my first order and asked here, expecting to be mocked. Three people explained it properly instead.
Asked what a COA was in my first week. Somebody linked the explainer and I have been reading them ever since.
