[Question] how long were you on before you tapered
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 1.0mg to 15mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 7 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have constipation I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 89 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Maintenance for 9 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
Stalled for 15 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 27.
The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
tapering instructions are not welcome here
no shaming people who restart
interval stretching versus dose reduction
the regain is treatment of chronic condition ending, not failure
Genuine question — what concentration were you at?
Strongly agree. The regain is expected.
Genuine question — what concentration were you at?
Adding to this: regain is doing more work than the comment implies.
coming off deliberately, not by accident
