- yyz_vial — a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored 13:32
- bea_reconstitutes — came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful 13:39
- yyz_vial — my titration ladder took 26 months to climb and i would do it slower again 13:41
- bea_reconstitutes — holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months 13:43
whats the longest anyone has stayed on one dose
too early imo
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
if i took it 9 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later

[edited]how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
thats noise
half life is a week
i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics, i think
how much does the last dose still matter 9 days later
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
