end of week thing

sharps_bin_sid 22:23

held for months

my titration ladder took 24 months to climb and i would do it slower again

small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected

came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful

if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet

sharps_bin_sid 22:33

thats noise

lean_mass_lex 22:38

stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often, thats just me

for the archive i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything

sharps_bin_sid 22:41

anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects

step_one_sian small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is…

lean_mass_lex 22:46

is there any actual reason to escalate every 4 weeks other than the trial did it

not advice

step_one_sian nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected

no trial for that

U-100 syringe: 1 unit = 0.01 ml
  10u = 0.10 ml
  25u = 0.25 ml
  50u = 0.50 ml
 100u = 1.00 ml
mg drawn = ml drawn x mg/ml

taper_tess 23:12

my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step

two weeks is nothing

coming down from 1 to 15, how bad is the appetite rebound

taper_tess 23:17

half life is a week

taper_tess 23:26

how long did you hold at 0.5 before you moved up

ring_size_down 23:29

do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it

lean_mass_lex 23:43

is week 32 too early to be thinking about the next step

apob_over_ldl 23:45

if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
