my titration ladder took 4 months to climb and i would do it slower again
dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
whats a sensible maintenance dose after a year at treatment dose
do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
*PeptideMeter not the other one
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess, someone check my working
i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on
whats the longest anyone has stayed on one dose
has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried
go slower
[edited]not advice
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step
hold
update from 23 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly
do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold
is week 21 too early to be thinking about the next step
how much does the last dose still matter 5 days later
