do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience

the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial, still working it out
how long did you hold at 2.5 before you moved up
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
update from 21 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly
go slower

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on and the ones who try get corrected
half life is a week

update question: did anyone who held for 7 months regret it
thats normal

while im here if the current dose is still working, going up is spending headroom you might want later
if i took it 8 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day
thats noise
do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
too early imo

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, still working it out
two weeks is nothing
