Highlights from this day
- third_shift — i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on 21:49
- split_dose_sam — anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects 22:09
- fasting_insulin — while im here i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log 22:21
do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
end of week thing

if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess, ymmv
coming back to this is week 19 too early to be thinking about the next step
anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects
| 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 |
if you are going up because the scale stalled for two weeks, wait. two weeks is noise
does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on

pick a day and stick to it
if i hold at 0.5 indefinitely am i losing anything
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
quick one coming down from 15 to 10, how bad is the appetite rebound
do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold
no trial for that
go slower
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
