I'm just getting started, at a dose of only 0.5mg. I'm going to increase it to 1 mg next dose. At 0.5mg I'm not noticing any particular side effects, and any hunger suppression is subtle. I guess I need to be less timid in my dosing.chewonmysac said:First, I wanted to say thanks for all the prayers from my fellow Freaks!
Update week 2. Took 2nd dose yesterday. 1 mg again. As you can see with the 14-day 1/2 life, the medicine has increased. The level of saturation will only increase. The half-life is twice the weekly dosage. No other GLP has this long a half-life. I have tried to time this 2 days prior to my normal weekly Tirz (15mg) shot. Again this week, those days the food suppression, which normally fades, has been suppressed. I am eating because I have to hit my Calories. Yesterday, I noticed an 8-point uptake in RHR. That has subsided. The thirst and dry mouth remain but have reduced. All is good. If stacking low and slow is the move. Down 3 lbs in the last 10 days. At this stage (13 months), that number is well above average, as my weight loss has come to a crawl.
I'm trying out the Regimen app, so the half-life calculation will be helpful.
