my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether long term is why
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on dose stretching in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Mechanistically the bit that matters is regain. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 13–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
Weight variance within what range?
the 10mg dose works fine for 90 weeks of the month
This is correct. Weight variance is normal at maintenance.
the plateau is where the learning happens

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
nobody posts about this part and it is the longest part
