Highlights from this day
- split_dose_sam — the plateau hit me at 7 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change 01:51
- two_eight_c — right so steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing 02:21
- u100_pat — went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step, i think 05:42
give it four weeks
seven days ish
steady state takes weeks

| 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 |
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping

i held at 2.4 for 2 months and it was the best decision i made
plateaus move
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
vials not pens here
mine faded too
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step, i think
not the same trial
i stayed on 1.7 for 19 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
SELECT wasnt weight
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
