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

Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot SG-1177: 96.8% vs 99%. Within expected range. 11:10
- seven_five_sweet — the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is… 13:03
- tess_tirz — update on the earlier thing if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics, i could be wrong 13:54

thats normal
i would hold
| 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 |
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step
is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week
i went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
whats a sensible maintenance dose after a year at treatment dose

is week 31 too early to be thinking about the next step
two weeks is nothing
how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong
[edited]the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
does a missed week reset anything or do you just carry on
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
steady state is 5 weeks

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
i went from 15 to 5 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite
update on the earlier thing if it "stopped working after four days" that is almost never pharmacokinetics, i could be wrong
hold
my titration ladder took 16 months to climb and i would do it slower again
do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold
update question: did anyone who held for 14 months regret it
thats anecdote
do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it
[edited]held for months
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
