my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem

- luerlok — is the plateau at 25 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong 23:07
- swab_dry_first — vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong, still working it out 23:13
- swab_dry_first — did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed 23:22
- swab_dry_first — the plateau hit me at 28 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change, for what its worth 23:27

is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
the plateau hit me at 28 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change, for what its worth
i stayed on 1.7 for 17 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
