is there a point where going up stops buying you anything

update question: did anyone who held for 1 months regret it
hold
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
thats noise
whats the longest anyone has stayed on one dose
right so i have been at 7.5 for 4 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move
pick a day and stick to it
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
slightly off topic but does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step, still working it out
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on, we shall see
while im here if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later

my dose day has drifted 5 days later over 23 months, does it matter
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise

update on the earlier thing i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back. that is data for me and nobody else
came down, no regrets
the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
i went from 0.25 to 5 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite, thats just me
is week 4 too early to be thinking about the next step
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet, thats just me
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
too early imo
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)
