help me understand regain, I have read the wiki twice

Long Term

long term. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.

Everything else people worry about in c/hplc is downstream of it. Titration speed, early fullness, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort long term out first, and almost nobody does.

I say this having got it wrong for 6 months. My A1c was the thing that eventually made me pay attention, which is a stupid way to learn a lesson that was in the sidebar the whole time.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with regain, not with what you concluded.

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

dose-stretching experiences welcome, dose-stretching instructions are not

Maintenance for 10 months now. 5mg every 28 days, weight 10±10kg. Found the rhythm.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

About c/maintenancephase

The part nobody posts about: what happens at goal weight. Finding a lowest effective dose, dose-interval stretching, regain risk data, muscle retention, the psychology of not having a number to chase, and staying on indefinitely versus tapering.

c/maintenancephase rules
  1. State how long you have been at maintenance. "Maintenance" at week 30 is not maintenance.
  2. Regain is not a moral failing and posts implying it is get removed.
  3. Dose-stretching experiences welcome; dose-stretching instructions are not.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
