interval stretching is the most under-discussed thing in c/compounding
Right, the tapering question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 15 data points over 24 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 59, not week 13. 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
Strongly agree. The regain is expected.
Small correction: the trial was 8 weeks, not 26. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Yeah, regain is not a failure.
The sulphur burps was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
the regain is treatment of chronic condition ending, not failure
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 69 weeks to accept.
This is correct. Discontinuation data is real.
Small correction: the trial was 16 weeks, not 14. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
no shaming people who restart
My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with tapering, not with what you concluded.
the 7 week discontinuation arm is the data
Strongly agree. The regain is expected.
coming off deliberately, not by accident
This is correct. Discontinuation data is real.
Stalled for 19 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 92.

the people who came off and restarted without shame
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
Week 32 for me and the honest summary is: 21kg down, injection-site soreness manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
interval stretching versus dose reduction
Strongly agree. The regain is expected.
cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing regain rates

Adding to this: interval stretching is doing more work than the comment implies.
