if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise

the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
wk 1-4 2.5mg
wk 5-8 5.0mg
wk 9-20 7.5mg <- stayed here
wk 21-24 10.0mg (no extra benefit for me)
wk 25+ 7.5mg (came back down)whats the smallest step anyone has managed between doses
is there a trial anywhere that studied twice weekly, or is it all anecdote
n of 1
[edited]whats the longest anyone has stayed on one dose
came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful, i think
update from 2 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly
my titration ladder took 5 months to climb and i would do it slower again
is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data

stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
thats noise

dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
[edited]two weeks is nothing
i went from 2 to 5 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite
