- first_month_fi — with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose 22:15
- first_month_fi — the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess, not advice obviously 22:17
- mood_dip_mari — the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied 22:44
- mood_dip_mari — sorry to jump in if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later 22:46
- mood_dip_mari — coming back to this appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing 23:01
my dose day has drifted 4 days later over 19 months, does it matter
i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess, not advice obviously
dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
thats anecdote
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied
does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
sorry to jump in if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
coming back to this appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
if i took it 6 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day
