going up to fix a bad week almost always

the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest

my titration went like this four weeks per step is a convention, not a law of nature, and plenty of people sit longer, symptoms not calendar

sanity check on a step i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on, different people, different steps

about the escalation i judge a step at the end of it, not in the middle, because the middle is always the noisy bit, the calendar never knew how i was doing

to close the loop on my step a day either side of dose day is noise. a week either side is a different schedule, symptoms first though

holding is a decision. it is not failing to make one

i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything

disagree but ok, still on this one

ask someone qualified

the last two weeks of a step tell you more than the first two, because the first two are still climbing, one persons ladder

i kept a one line note each week and the pattern only became obvious three months in, holding is still a decision

to close the loop on my step a bad week inside a step is a bad week, not evidence about the step, that is my ladder not a recommendation
