- spreadsheet_stu — appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it, take that with a pinch of salt 18:18
- pia_plateaus — my range is 10 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain 19:15
- swab_dry_first — dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly, your mileage will differ 20:05

i put 44 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round, n of 1 obviously
protein up not down
i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
still at maintenance
the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it
i came off for four months, put 24 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
thats SURMOUNT-OSA
nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose
my range is 10 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain

is this forever or is that just how it feels at month 3
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
how quickly did appetite come back going from 1 to 2.4
did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast
dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly, your mileage will differ

coming back to this the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
