- two_lifts_a_week — plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data 16:03
- evidence_or_not — dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it 16:36
- mag_citrate — small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience 16:37
- the_bet_2026 — my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step 17:03
- the_bet_2026 — stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often 17:13
unrelated but how much does the last dose still matter 8 days later
i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back. that is data for me and nobody else
pick a day and stick to it
no trial for that
my titration ladder took 5 months to climb and i would do it slower again

do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
thats anecdote
whats a sensible maintenance dose after a year at treatment dose
how do you tell a plateau from just being at your set point
i would hold
my rule: if a side effect is still there at day five, i hold. if it clears by day three, i step
go slower

[edited]U-100 syringe: 1 unit = 0.01 ml
10u = 0.10 ml
25u = 0.25 ml
50u = 0.50 ml
100u = 1.00 ml
mg drawn = ml drawn x mg/ml
