[Results] 9 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring

Resultsbranch of 11 comments

9 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. Same spreadsheet I have been keeping since the start, nothing retrofitted. To save the first four comments: 9 weeks and 7.5mg.

Went back on after eight months away.

taper_off_tabitha is right that regain is a documented outcome rather than a character verdict.

About c/tapering

Stopping on purpose: dose reduction versus interval stretching, what the discontinuation arms of STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-4 actually showed about regain, appetite return timelines, and the people who came off, regained, and went back on without treating it as a failure.

c/tapering rules
  1. Cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing at regain rates.
  2. No shaming people who restart.
  3. Say how long you were on and at what dose before you tapered.
  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.
