Highlights from this day
- underfill_uma — i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log, ask me again in a month 23:05
- taper_or_not — appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing 23:07
- stack_sceptic — quick one the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back.… 23:30
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push
i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
is there a trial anywhere that studied twice weekly, or is it all anecdote

the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial, anyway
if i took it 4 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day
coming back to this if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet

not advice
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
i would hold

quick one the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
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

two weeks is nothing
update on the earlier thing whats the smallest step anyone has managed between doses
for the archive came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful
coming down from 1.7 to 0.5, how bad is the appetite rebound
thats noise
