- triple_ag_tom — having sat on this a while how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong, if anyone has a number 10:50
week 34 check in the honest answer to how long to hold is until something changes, and nobody likes that answer, happy to be corrected
the calendar tells you when you may move and how you feel tells you whether you should
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months
the people who escalate fastest are the people who end up holding longest, that was on the old ladder
thats anecdote
steady state is roughly five half lives, so about five weeks with a weekly compound
my titration ladder took 21 months to climb and i would do it slower again
i wrote the ladder down with dates and it stopped me making the same decision twice, that was week 24 for me
go slower
never regretted holding
