the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time
there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping

no data on that
genuine question how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again

how long did people stay at treatment dose after hitting goal

the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it, i have it written down somewhere
does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining
come down slower than that

a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
how quickly did appetite come back going from 0.5 to 7.5
there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it

i came off for four months, put 27 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
there is no trial on every ten days or every fortnight. people here do it and report on it and that is all we have

i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side
