Highlights from this day
- thirty_one_g — unrelated but small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one… 12:07
- food_noise_off — if i took it 6 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day 12:44
- typosquat_tay — i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on 13:48
- meniscus_mel — stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often, anyway 13:54
- meniscus_mel — the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial 15:28
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
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, we shall see
not advice

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
held for months
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise

*that should say weekly
dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
update from 12 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly
*Janoshik not the other one
if i took it 6 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day

half life is a week
do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
right so i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored, ill dig out the number

if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on

my titration ladder took 18 months to climb and i would do it slower again
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often, anyway

does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
update question: did anyone who held for 26 months regret it
came down, no regrets
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
is there a point where going up stops buying you anything
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
thats anecdote
go slower

holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months
steady state is 5 weeks
for the archive split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
