Highlights from this day
- first_month_fi — genuine question anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule 18:57
- first_month_fi — 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 18:58
- gradient_greg — update on the earlier thing FLOW is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion 20:05
- bea_reconstitutes — appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for, ill dig out the number 20:33
still at maintenance
genuine question anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule

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
stopped 8 months ago and put 31 back on, what did people do at that point
thats STEP 4
is maintenance different between tirzepatide and the others or is that all anecdote
STEP 4 is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers
is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
went back up, no regrets

i dropped from 15 to 2.4 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time
does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same €38 a month
unrelated but how much regain did people get in the first 14 months after stopping
regain is expected
update on the earlier thing FLOW is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
ok so coming back after 19 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers
did your maintenance dose end up higher or lower than you expected it to
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for, ill dig out the number
i came off for four months, put 31 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested, not advice obviously
coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
ok so nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
harder than losing
for the archive did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast
