split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all, your mileage will differ

the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone
has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
whats the longest anyone has stayed on one dose
my titration ladder took 2 months to climb and i would do it slower again
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
i would hold
i have been at 1.7 for 18 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move
do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics
update on the earlier thing is there a point where going up stops buying you anything
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
ok so small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience, thats just me
