#dosing-titration 2025-04-04

does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on

holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

genuine question you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten

anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects

held for months

update question: did anyone who held for 20 months regret it

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected, i could be wrong

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

came down, no regrets

the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied

follow up if i hold at 0.5 indefinitely am i losing anything

five weeks flat at 1.7. same food, same training. do i go to 2.4

define flat. scale flat, or everything flat

scale flat. waist has gone down 2cm

then you are not stalled, you are recomposing and your scale is lying to you

how can the scale be flat if fat is going

water, glycogen, gut contents, and if you started lifting, tissue. the scale is a low resolution instrument read daily

weekly average or nothing. single mornings are noise

seven day averages, kg

that is a slow decline with noise on top. it is not a stall

it does not feel like a decline

nothing about 400g a week feels like anything. which is why people quit at the exact moment it is working

i would not touch the dose on that data

agreed

what would a real stall look like

eight weeks of flat weight and flat measurements with intake honestly unchanged

and honestly unchanged is where most stalls actually live

my portions have crept. i know they have

there it is

*creeped. crept. whatever

one of those was right, carry on

if appetite suppression is genuinely fading week to week at a fixed dose, that is a different case and going up is reasonable

that happened to me at 1mg around month five. hunger came back properly, not boredom eating

and you went up and it worked

went up and it worked. so i am not anti-escalation, i am anti-escalating on noise

leaving it alone for a month then. will report back

and there was never a stall
