Highlights from this day
- first_and_last_four — the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat 23:11
- noct.titrate — the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess 23:16
- slow.taper — if i hold at 0.25 indefinitely am i losing anything 23:53
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months, we shall see
end of week thing
no trial for that

if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later, still working it out

my titration ladder took 20 months to climb and i would do it slower again, from memory
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
is week 27 too early to be thinking about the next step
has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
how long did you hold at 2.4 before you moved up
thats normal
coming down from 0.5 to 1, how bad is the appetite rebound
the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
coming back to this small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
hold
if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
if i hold at 0.25 indefinitely am i losing anything
