🧪3🔥5
restarted after 13 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
unrelated but the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
⚠️1
thats STEP 1
2.4 is the ceiling
what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
not the same trial
😂17❤️5
ok so does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
vials not pens here
| 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 |

compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.4, which is one person and nothing more, we shall see
