How people actually build a titration ladder: when to hold, when to step, when to come back down, and the long-running split between escalating on the calendar and escalating on symptoms. Also dose-day drift, split dosing and the total absence of trial data for most of what gets discussed here.
Pinned in this channel
Escalating on the calendar is what the trials did. Escalating on symptoms is what most of this room does. Both are defensible; know which one you are doing and why.
Holding a dose is not failing. Most of the people in this room who are still here after two years held at least one dose for two months or more.
