update from 10 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about
dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly

there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it
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
