Highlights from this day
- bea_reconstitutes — stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often 14:46
- tenpence — i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back. that is data for me and nobody else 15:02
- mg_per_ml — small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience 16:20
- mg_per_ml — the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything 16:22
- taper_tess — came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful 16:50

how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong

the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
unrelated but plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
if i hold at 0.5 indefinitely am i losing anything
the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
how much does the last dose still matter 2 days later
came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
n of 1
two weeks is nothing
thats normal
