normal: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1

Answered Receipts ×6 Slow Clap ×1

normal: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones.

Titration is a tolerance ladder. Each step exists so the gastrointestinal effects settle before the next increase, which is why the intervals are what they are.

Appetite change and weight change are different measurements on different timescales. The first is usually noticed first and the second lags it.

That is everything I have. The rest is opinion and I have tried to keep it out.

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.

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.

Not quite. Bacteriostatic and sterile water are different products and only one is intended for repeated entry.

Right, and writing the concentration on the vial is the single best habit anyone here can start with.

Left up. It is a basic question asked clearly and it will help the next several people who search for it.

That comparison is between two different products at two different concentrations, which is where the confusion is coming from.

What is the actual question underneath the question? Happy to answer both.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
