  • food_noise_off — the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone 13:54
  • plateau_pen — if i hold at 12 indefinitely am i losing anything 15:05
  • food_noise_off — my dose day has drifted 4 days later over 9 months, does it matter 15:37

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

FN

dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it

holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

TF

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

FN

the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone

slightly off topic but the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial

LN

the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied
