[Discussion] can we stop arguing about GIP until somebody posts a number
Genuine question, and the title is the question: can we stop arguing about GIP until somebody posts a number.
Week 47 was the first time the scale moved after a five-week stall. I changed nothing in that window.
The thing nobody warned me about was how much of this is logistics — storing it, remembering it, the same day every week.
Went 10 to 12.5 on the calendar and had the worst fortnight of the whole run. Dropped back to 10 and everything settled.
That is everything I have. The rest is opinion and I have tried to keep it out.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Research-use-only material is not approved for human use. Anything in this thread about how a research vial "should" titrate is a discussion about chemistry, not a plan.
Sulphur burps for the first eight days after each step, then nothing. Predictable enough that I planned my week around it.
25kg over 64 weeks, never went past 10mg, and early fullness stayed mild the whole way. Posting because the loud threads are all 15mg.
Appetite effect for me is flat across seven days. On sema it was a wave. Same person, different molecule.
Careful with "everyone tolerates it better". The people it did not suit stop posting, which makes this board look calmer than the drug is.
hold the dose that works, the ladder is not a leaderboard
Correction to my own post above — I said 5mg and I have been on 5mg since the spring. Same argument, wrong number.
2.5 is the starter dose and it is not meant to be the dose that works

Not sure about this bit. The GIP arm being real does not tell you that it is what caused your particular week.
Came off sema and onto tirz with a two-week gap. The first month was flat and I assumed I had made a mistake. Month two it moved.
Pen or vial? The step sizes available differ and it changes this answer.
Are you comparing yourself with the trial mean or with the people who post the most?
stepping every four weeks is a ceiling on speed, not a schedule you must hit
sulphur burps are the signature complaint and they are not dangerous
