i came off for four months, put 75 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up

there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping, ymmv
i went to every ten days at a low dose and it held for me. n of 1, and i keep saying that out loud, ill dig out the number
same as a bp tablet
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
follow up dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
i put 10 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round

*week 16 not week 5
i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose

come down slower than that
appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it
right so i dropped from 2.4 to 0.5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested, someone check my working
anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
there is no trial on every ten days or every fortnight. people here do it and report on it and that is all we have
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved

appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
