Highlights from this day

identity_shift — i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything, happy to be corrected 19:03
belfast_bac — genuine question plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data, happy to be corrected 19:10
abdo_two_inch — i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it, i have it written down somewhere 20:32
abdo_two_inch — holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months 20:34
abdo_two_inch — my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step, i could be wrong 21:03

update question: did anyone who held for 12 months regret it

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

i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything, happy to be corrected

i have been at 0.5 for 8 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move

genuine question plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data, happy to be corrected

thats normal

whats the smallest step anyone has managed between doses

has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried

do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold

i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it, i have it written down somewhere

if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics, ymmv

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

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