Discussionbranch of 10 comments

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom. I have been tracking tapering against ApoB for 35 weeks because I could not find anyone who had.

c/tapering rules
  1. Cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing at regain rates.

  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.
