Long-term semaglutide (3+ years) — looking for input

One thing that is still open after PharmHunterJen’s answer:

How long did you give it before you decided it was working?

If you are going to change something, change one thing and give it long enough to express itself.

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. This treats a plausible mechanism as a demonstrated one. Plausible is where you start looking, not where you stop.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source. Carry on.

Bookmarking. The distinction being drawn above is the one nobody else makes. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. The version of this that has an answer is narrower than the version being asked. Narrow it and it becomes tractable; leave it broad and the thread will produce nine confident and incompatible replies.
