Highlights from this day

sgp_subq — update on the earlier thing i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat 10:08
tb500_tobias — the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess 10:10
seven_five_sweet — the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest 11:00
seven_five_sweet — update question: did anyone who held for 21 months regret it 11:17

i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out

i have been at 1.7 for 18 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move

thats normal

a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored

whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push

came down, no regrets

the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest

wk 1-4    2.5mg
wk 5-8    5.0mg
wk 9-20   7.5mg   <- stayed here
wk 21-24  10.0mg  (no extra benefit for me)
wk 25+    7.5mg   (came back down)

stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often

small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience

update question: did anyone who held for 21 months regret it

🤝6😂3

update from 19 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly, your mileage will differ

if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics
