holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months, thats just me
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
too early imo
| 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 |

thats normal
what does the room think about jumping a rung to catch up
came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful
i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
whats the smallest step anyone has managed between doses
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data, we shall see
