my titration ladder took 20 months to climb and i would do it slower again
the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone
too early imo
i have been at 10 for 15 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
right so with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose, i think
does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
no trial for that
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess
i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back. that is data for me and nobody else
do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
confirmations_sixi have been at 10 for 15 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move you do not…
do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold
i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat, ask me again in a month
slightly off topic but how much does the last dose still matter 8 days later
is there any actual reason to escalate every 4 weeks other than the trial did it
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
thats noise
*that should say weekly
coming back to this if i took it 3 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day

i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
genuine question the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
thats anecdote

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
my dose day has drifted 5 days later over 20 months, does it matter
thats normal
the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest

appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
i would hold
