regain vs dose stretching — genuinely asking which matters more
Genuinely asking, not being difficult.
Everyone in c/customs repeats that goal weight is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 15 threads of people agreeing with each other.
Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?
I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 15–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
Maintenance for 4 months now. 10mg every 40 days, weight 40±4kg. Found the rhythm.
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
the 1.7mg dose works fine for 38 weeks of the month
Did you stretch the dose interval?
Maintenance for 12 months now. 0.25mg every 32 days, weight 18±12kg. Found the rhythm.
food noise returns but not always immediately
lowest effective dose is dose stretching, find it or stay higher
regain after taper is expected, plan for it
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
the 12.5mg dose works fine for 4 weeks of the month
regain is not a moral failing
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
the maintenance question changes at maintenance
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
the regain question changes at maintenance

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 95 weeks to accept.
Regain on a taper is expected. 21% back over 14 weeks, which matches the discontinuation data. Planned for it.
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with regain, not with what you concluded.
nobody posts about this part and it is the longest part
