switched from 5mg to 2.5mg and the nausea got better, not worse
I have had 9 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe.
Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied by about 16 days on nominally the same lane, which matters more in summer than in February.
The independent number came back 98.4% against a claimed 97.2%, which I read as agreement rather than a discrepancy — inter-lab variance on this assay is a point or two either way and treating one lab as ground truth is how people end up in pointless arguments with vendors.
Batch number is in the comments. Ask if you want the method.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 99.0. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
regain after taper is expected, plan for it
Small correction: the trial was 11 weeks, not 17. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 4 weeks to accept.
lowest effective dose is lowest effective dose, find it or stay higher
the plateau is where the learning happens
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with maintenance, not with what you concluded.
Disagree.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 77 weeks to accept.
How long at maintenance?
nobody posts about this part and it is the longest part
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
state how long you have been at maintenance, week 17 is not maintenance
weight moves within 9kg and that is normal
I am going to push back on this slightly.
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
state how long you have been at maintenance, week 7 is not maintenance
state how long you have been at maintenance, week 22 is not maintenance
the 1.0mg dose works fine for 41 weeks of the month
state how long you have been at maintenance, week 2 is not maintenance
Did you stretch the dose interval?
Tried the lowest-effective approach. 15mg worked for 20 weeks, then cravings returned. 10mg was the actual floor.
Regain on a taper is expected. 23% back over 34 weeks, which matches the discontinuation data. Planned for it.
the 7.5mg dose works fine for 56 weeks of the month
weight moves within 15kg and that is normal
Small correction: the trial was 7 weeks, not 33. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
state how long you have been at maintenance, week 12 is not maintenance
