came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful, for what its worth

Highlights from this day
- advance_fee_al — the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone 13:38
- advance_fee_al — if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is… 13:54
- advance_fee_al — a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored 14:44
- sol_sends — holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months 14:51

if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
my titration ladder took 24 months to climb and i would do it slower again, from memory
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often, ask me again in a month
thats noise
held for months
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise, ymmv
is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
U-100 syringe: 1 unit = 0.01 ml
10u = 0.10 ml
25u = 0.25 ml
50u = 0.50 ml
100u = 1.00 ml
mg drawn = ml drawn x mg/mlpick a day and stick to it
i went from 7.5 to 1.7 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

while im here with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
is week 17 too early to be thinking about the next step
whats the smallest step anyone has managed between doses

if i hold at 15 indefinitely am i losing anything
