Highlights from this day
- night_pin — i went from 7.5 to 12 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial 22:36
- yyz_vial — i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything 23:16
- travel_cooler — is there a point where going up stops buying you anything 23:35
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week
no trial for that
half life is a week
too early imo
[edited]holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months, ask me again in a month
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
i went from 7.5 to 12 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite
the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step
*Janoshik not the other one
i would hold
came down, no regrets
[edited]while im here how long did you hold at 1.7 before you moved up
the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial, thats just me
i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything

appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
is there a point where going up stops buying you anything
