split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all
[edited]coming down from 1.7 to 2.4, how bad is the appetite rebound
i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat
does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
my dose day has drifted 7 days later over 9 months, does it matter
how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong
steady state is 5 weeks
came down, no regrets
thats noise
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months
dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it

end of week thing

pick a day and stick to it
the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
i went from 0.5 to 5 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite
i would hold
go slower
held for months
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
hold
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess
the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied
