Highlights from this day
- brisbane_bac — holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is… 08:48
- meniscus_mel — the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial 09:33
- hydrate_hana — split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all, n of 1 obviously 10:04
thats noise

after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
ok so you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten

i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
two weeks is nothing
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all, n of 1 obviously

a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored, still working it out
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
is there a trial anywhere that studied twice weekly, or is it all anecdote
for the archive anyone here split their weekly into two and would they do it again
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet, ask me again in a month
i have been at 2.4 for 24 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move
update on the earlier thing plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
update on the earlier thing the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone, thats just me
came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push
coming down from 1.7 to 2, how bad is the appetite rebound
