Highlights from this day
- power_through_no — my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step 20:03
- eight_mm — follow up with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose 20:33
- eight_mm — for the archive small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six… 20:46
- plateau_pen — has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried 20:56
- plateau_pen — 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 you do not have to escalate at all. that is a… 21:03
i have been at 0.5 for 17 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move
thats normal
follow up with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
*week 30 not week 7
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
for the archive small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
is week 31 too early to be thinking about the next step
if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics
has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried

dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
*week 4 not week 4
is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week
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
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
