no trial for that

two weeks is nothing

i would hold

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

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

whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push

*Medutest not the other one

follow up you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten, your mileage will differ

small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience

stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often

is there a trial anywhere that studied twice weekly, or is it all anecdote

how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point

the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess

if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise

end of week thing

n of 1

do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel

i went from 0.5 to 5 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite

anyone here split their weekly into two and would they do it again
the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial

go slower

thats normal

thats noise

i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it

if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later, happy to be corrected

is week 32 too early to be thinking about the next step

if i hold at 15 indefinitely am i losing anything

my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step, take that with a pinch of salt

right so i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on

the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet

steady state is 5 weeks

too early imo

a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored, take that with a pinch of salt

hold
