how much of what we believe about interval stretching actually comes from tapering threads
Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: how much of what we believe about interval stretching actually comes from tapering threads. A written baseline — dose, date, weight, waist, and how appetite feels — taken before any change is what makes the following months interpretable rather than…
Withdrawal studies across this class consistently show substantial regain after discontinuation, with appetite typically returning before weight changes. That is a description of the pharmacology of a chronic condition.
Have you had the conversation with a clinician yet?
Yes — the withdrawal literature is consistent and it is a pharmacological finding, not a moral one.
How long were you at the dose you are coming off?
