i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
what does the room think about jumping a rung to catch up
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored

if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet, happy to be corrected
dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
