i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part

came down slowly, reporting the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel

nothing dramatic to report the thing that changes at maintenance is that the feedback loop gets much slower, still thinking about it less every month

if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room, still steady

reduced the dose and people who post at maintenance are the ones still engaged. the quiet ones are a whole population you cannot see, talk to your prescriber about the dose

hardest part

cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower

is a fortnightly interval a real maintenance strategy for anyone

coming down slowly was the whole trick for me. every fast change i made had to be undone, if i remember right

the lowest dose that holds is a number you find by going down until something moves, slowly, six weeks before i call it a trend

appreciate it, six weeks is a trend

i set a trigger weight and i have used it twice in three years, which is exactly what it was for

measurements not weight

regain in the first year is common and it is not a verdict on anything, i went back up and it was fine

is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us, no rush
