whats the smallest step anyone has managed between doses
thats normal
quick one a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
end of week thing
too early imo
follow up does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
not advice
no trial for that
is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
| 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 |
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
