Highlights from this day

redefine_ren — a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved 21:16
monoisotopic — i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else 22:03
apob_over_ldl — food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me, i think 22:07
apob_over_ldl — resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous 22:30

weekly not daily

unrelated but regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says

follow up protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive

went back up, no regrets

i put 28 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round

i went to every ten days at a low dose and it held for me. n of 1, and i keep saying that out loud

i dropped from 0.25 to 5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months

coming back to this 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

come down slower than that

thats fluctuation

for the archive appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it

i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand

resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous

is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule

if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time
