steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt

how many weeks before you noticed anything at 2.5
wk 1-4 0.25mg
wk 5-10 0.50mg (held 2 extra weeks)
wk 11-14 1.00mg
wk 15-26 1.70mg (held, long)
wk 27+ 2.40mgdose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters

the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
went too fast once

STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
steady state takes weeks
[edited]the appetite effect faded for me around 6 months and going up fixed it for a while

STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
restarted after 21 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
SELECT wasnt weight
held at 1 and lost 24lb over 8 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
mine faded too
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
quick one lost about 30kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me, not advice obviously
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything

update on the earlier thing did anybody find a difference between ERP and pharmacy at the same 10
did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
quick one did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
same dose day
i held at 12 for 4 months and it was the best decision i made
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 15, which is one person and nothing more
