holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it

no official dose

dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly

how quickly did appetite come back going from 12 to 7.5
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower

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

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

update from 5 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal, i think

i stayed at treatment dose for four months past goal and then came down slowly. that order was right for me

slightly off topic but did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast

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
