Highlights from this day
- cricket_or_footy — unrelated but regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says 16:21
- mhra_unlicensed — ok so there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping 16:57
- reship_rita — does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same $185 a month 18:03
- mhra_unlicensed — the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel resistance training two or three times a week is what the room… 18:23
- mhra_unlicensed — holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it 19:23
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, anyway
unrelated but regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
i dropped from 0.25 to 12 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
ok so there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about
im holding at 10 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us
update from 5 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same $185 a month
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2*Medutest not the other one
anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous

SELECT is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers
is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
lift twice a week
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side
