[Discussion] the discontinuation advice in here is 20 years out of date

Discussion

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/progresspics repeats that regain is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 18 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.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

the UK here. Waited 19 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

The injection-site soreness was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

About c/tapering

Stopping on purpose: dose reduction versus interval stretching, what the discontinuation arms of STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-4 actually showed about regain, appetite return timelines, and the people who came off, regained, and went back on without treating it as a failure.
