the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone
#dosing-titration 2025-10-23
right so i went from 2 to 1 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite
anyone here split their weekly into two and would they do it again
[edited]while im here i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
unrelated but dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied
while im here if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
[edited]too early imo
two weeks is nothing
wk 1-4 0.25mg
wk 5-10 0.50mg (held 2 extra weeks)
wk 11-14 1.00mg
wk 15-26 1.70mg (held, long)
wk 27+ 2.40mgthe trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
i would hold
held for months
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
end of week thing
whats the longest anyone has stayed on one dose
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
half life is a week
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months
