discontinuation: what the trials say vs what this community says
Genuinely asking, not being difficult.
Everyone in c/progresspics repeats that tapering is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 5 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.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Yeah, regain is not a failure.
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

Yeah, regain is not a failure.
no shaming people who restart

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
say how long you were on and at what dose before taper
I am going to push back on this slightly.
the regain is treatment of chronic condition ending, not failure
Maintenance for 10 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
interval stretching versus dose reduction
say how long you were on and at what dose before taper
This is correct. Discontinuation data is real.
the regain is treatment of chronic condition ending, not failure
This is correct.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 17 weeks to accept.
appetite return timelines vary regain
This is correct. Discontinuation data is real.
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
