if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later, take that with a pinch of salt

Highlights from this day
- week_three_wall — if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later, take that with a pinch of salt 08:41
- week_three_wall — after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice 09:25
- subq_sy — is there any actual reason to escalate every 4 weeks other than the trial did it 10:46
- week_three_wall — slightly off topic but what does the room think about jumping a rung to catch up 10:52
unrelated but update from 7 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly
whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice

i have been at 1 for 10 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
update question: did anyone who held for 25 months regret it
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected, take that with a pinch of salt
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
i would hold
not advice
is there any actual reason to escalate every 4 weeks other than the trial did it

i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat
dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it, anyway
my titration ladder took 5 months to climb and i would do it slower again
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
too early imo
