#dosing-titration 2025-10-16

i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on

if i took it 8 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day

split dosing has no trial behind it. people here do it and report on it, thats all, not advice obviously

thats normal

holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months, not advice obviously
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet

has anyone gone up and then straight back down and been glad they tried

my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step

does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on

held for months

no trial for that

small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience

how long did you hold at 7.5 before you moved up

i went from 5 to 2.4 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite

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

after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice

i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it

too early imo

the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial, i have it written down somewhere
