my dose day has drifted 4 days later over 21 months, does it matter
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Verification log updated: SSA — evidence added, status unchanged. 16:33
- void_volume — i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on 20:13
- sulphur_burp — the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone, thats just me 20:34
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
two weeks is nothing
| 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 |
if i took it 6 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day
if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics
the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied, anyway
i would hold

i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful, ill dig out the number
Verification log updated: SSA — evidence added, status unchanged.
no trial for that
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
*PeptideMeter not the other one
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, ymmv
half life is a week
is week 7 too early to be thinking about the next step
Inter-lab diff for lot B-0329: 97.4% vs 98.1%. Within expected range.
unrelated but coming down from 2.4 to 2.5, how bad is the appetite rebound
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back. that is data for me and nobody else
is there a trial anywhere that studied twice weekly, or is it all anecdote
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
too early imo
update on the earlier thing does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
pick a day and stick to it
the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
held for months
the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
n of 1
thats anecdote

*that should say weekly
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice, ask me again in a month
Recon calculator: 15mg in 1.5ml = 8mg/ml.
follow up stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
came down, no regrets
right so you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
is there a point where going up stops buying you anything
i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on

whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push
i went from 10 to 1 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected, not advice obviously
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log

steady state is 5 weeks
the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone, thats just me

update on the earlier thing split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all

if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise, your mileage will differ
