dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it

quick one how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
go slower
[edited]two weeks is nothing
i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on
has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
is there a point where going up stops buying you anything
if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step
follow up whats the longest anyone has stayed on one dose
unrelated but i went from 1 to 12 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite, ask me again in a month
[edited]end of week thing
quick one plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data, for what its worth
held for months
i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
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/mlsorry to jump in anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
*sorry, WWB
no trial for that
thats normal
does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
genuine question my titration ladder took 5 months to climb and i would do it slower again
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later

came down, no regrets
pick a day and stick to it
is week 24 too early to be thinking about the next step
whats a sensible maintenance dose after a year at treatment dose
