[Results] 89 weeks on 1.7mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
Here it is: 89 weeks on 1.7mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. One person, one log, no control group, so read it accordingly. 89 weeks and 1.7mg. Those are measured, not estimated, and not rounded up in my favour. Weight change and appetite change are different endpoints on different timescales. Conflating them…
Week 71: 12kg down, nausea basically gone since about week 3, and the honest headline is that nothing dramatic happened. It was boring and it worked.
dose day drift of a day either way is fine, the curve barely notices

Same. I sat at 0.5mg for three months because it was working and there was nothing to fix.

Right, and the timescale is the bit that keeps getting lost. Judge a step at a month, not at a weekend.
Delayed gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is why the nausea usually fades at a stable dose.
Small correction: 2.4mg is the maintenance ceiling on the label, not the starting maintenance dose. The distinction matters for anyone reading this later.
That figure is the 68-week trial mean, not a weekly rate. Dividing it by the weeks gives you a number that does not mean anything.
Cosigning. The appetite change and the scale change ran about three weeks apart for me too.
