if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet

Highlights from this day
- two_four_ceiling — i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on 15:49
- two_four_ceiling — if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics 15:58
- declared_value — i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything 17:21
- step_one_sian — does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on 17:53
- step_one_sian — coming back to this i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument… 18:34
for the archive split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all, ask me again in a month
do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
thats noise
held for months
came down, no regrets
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
Inter-lab diff for lot C-4402: 98.6% vs 98.1%. Within expected range.
whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push
follow up is week 29 too early to be thinking about the next step
while im here the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on

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
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months
go slower
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise, still working it out
i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
i would hold

right so with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on

do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
coming back to this i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess

no trial for that
not advice
sorry to jump in i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
🎉1👀1
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
is there a point where going up stops buying you anything
thats anecdote
Purity check: no report on file for lot SG-1177. Nothing logged either way.
