you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten, your mileage will differ

Highlights from this day
- stack_sceptic — nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing 17:03
- stack_sceptic — update from 5 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly 18:07
- stack_sceptic — i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest 18:13
- ghk_gia — stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about… 19:13
- ghk_gia — holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months, ask me again in a month 19:16
do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
if i hold at 2.4 indefinitely am i losing anything
split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
update on the earlier thing i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
thats normal
is there a point where going up stops buying you anything
do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess, not advice obviously
update from 5 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly

i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
quick one a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful
whats the longest anyone has stayed on one dose
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing, still working it out
thats anecdote
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months, ask me again in a month
