- step_one_sian — appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing, not advice obviously 21:01
- deadspace — i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log, your mileage will differ 21:41
- hydrate_hana — nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected 21:45
- deadspace — sorry to jump in do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it 21:47
with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose
not advice
if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing, not advice obviously
right so i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
i went from 10 to 15 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite
*Medutest not the other one
if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics, ymmv
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log, your mileage will differ
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
sorry to jump in do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
thats anecdote
how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong
no trial for that
