with a roughly seven day half-life you are near steady state after about five weeks at a dose

the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone
i jumped a rung once to catch up after a supply gap and it was a bad week. would not repeat
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
end of week thing
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
if i took it 3 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day
not advice
two weeks is nothing
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
is there any actual reason to escalate every 4 weeks other than the trial did it
whats the smallest step anyone has managed between doses
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
