anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule

OO

lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up

Cited study
Continued Treatment with Tirzepatide for Maintenance of Weight Reduction (SURMOUNT-4)
JAMA · 2024
Randomised withdrawal after a 36-week lead-in. Pairs with STEP 4.

is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us

OO

maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested
