Highlights from this day
  • mag_citrate — my dose day has drifted 2 days later over 17 months, does it matter if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics 18:06
  • VialBot — Testing queue: 3 submissions open, 127 awaiting dispatch. 18:37
  • pin29g — what does the room think about jumping a rung to catch up 18:46
  • u100_pat — slightly off topic but my titration ladder took 6 months to climb and i would do it slower again 19:56

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected, we shall see

MC

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

MC

i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything

a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored

split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all

U1

is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week

unrelated but appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing, i could be wrong
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later

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

what does the room think about jumping a rung to catch up

👀14😂16

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

thats noise

MP

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

i would hold

holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

update on the earlier thing the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial

slightly off topic but my titration ladder took 6 months to climb and i would do it slower again

holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

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

MC

you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten

thats anecdote
