[Results] 11 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on tapering in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

Which country? Half the answers in this thread only apply in the Netherlands.

Which country?

Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.

Yeah, regain is not a failure.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

no shaming people who restart

Small correction: the trial was 10 weeks, not 10. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

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.
