i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
two weeks is nothing

*week 32 not week 2
end of week thing
how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong
what does the room think about jumping a rung to catch up
too early imo

how much does the last dose still matter 7 days later

whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push
is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week
no trial for that
quick one dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
not advice
thats anecdote

do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
go slower
i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat
the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone
update question: did anyone who held for 24 months regret it
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months
after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
half life is a week
thats noise
❤️4🔥10
pick a day and stick to it
sorry to jump in if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics
if you are asking whether to go up, the fact you are asking usually means not yet
is week 32 too early to be thinking about the next step
i have been at 12 for 18 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move

held for months
thats normal
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log

coming down from 5 to 1.7, how bad is the appetite rebound
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data, we shall see

update on the earlier thing came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful
is there a trial anywhere that studied twice weekly, or is it all anecdote
n of 1
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
