update on the earlier thing how much does the last dose still matter 6 days later
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat, i think
thats noise
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step
thats normal
not advice
split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all
[edited]plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
go slower
| 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 |
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
end of week thing
no trial for that
