does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
slower worked better

moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
the plateau hit me at 5 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
sorry to jump in did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
held at 0.25 and lost 34lb over 22 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
