tapering vs regain — genuinely asking which matters more
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful. Setup: 0.25mg, week 82, injection-site soreness present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — regain — and tracked it for 6 weeks. Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted…
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 20–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 70 weeks to accept.
