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

Highlights from this day
- slow.taper — if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later, i have it written down somewhere 18:54
- peak_split — split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day… 19:42
- vial_ledger — how long did you hold at 2.4 before you moved up 19:59
thats normal
i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
no trial for that
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
sorry to jump in the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
is week 30 too early to be thinking about the next step
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later, i have it written down somewhere
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
n of 1
end of week thing
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
held for months
📈1👀1
two weeks is nothing
hold
how much does the last dose still matter 8 days later
split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step
if i hold at 10 indefinitely am i losing anything
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
how long did you hold at 2.4 before you moved up
📈15
my dose day has drifted 4 days later over 17 months, does it matter
thats noise
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
