Highlights from this day
- vialkeeper — while im here dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly, we shall see 13:34
- vialkeeper — i came off for four months, put 26 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers 15:18
- vialkeeper — i put 35 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round, take that with a pinch of salt 16:20
- oli_orals — two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation 16:57
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive
everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here
anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
mine didnt hold
i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side, ask me again in a month
stopped 17 months ago and put 29 back on, what did people do at that point
is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
how much regain did people get in the first 8 months after stopping
if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time
how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled

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, ask me again in a month

coming back after 10 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers
i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand
im holding at 1.7 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved

whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about
i came off for four months, put 26 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers

weekly not daily
did your maintenance dose end up higher or lower than you expected it to
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
i put 35 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round, take that with a pinch of salt

slightly off topic but the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
