[Long Term] found my lowest effective dose by going down, not up
Right, the lowest effective dose question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 10 data points over 22 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.
The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 57, not week 11. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.
best — the order this archive was captured in

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
the 1.7mg dose works fine for 29 weeks of the month

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 69 weeks to accept.

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

lowest effective dose is lowest effective dose, find it or stay higher
dose-stretching experiences welcome, dose-stretching instructions are not
I am going to push back on this slightly.
regain after taper is expected, plan for it
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
Mechanistically the bit that matters is dose stretching. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 46 weeks to accept.
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
The plateau is real and boring. 83 weeks at the same weight, then movement again. Patience was the intervention.
