c/maintenancephase rules

State how long you have been at maintenance. "Maintenance" at week 30 is not maintenance.
Regain is not a moral failing and posts implying it is get removed.
Dose-stretching experiences welcome; dose-stretching instructions are not.
Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
