Good clarifying question, and the honest "no consensus" answers in this thread are more useful than a false one would be. Whatever taper approach someone uses should be worked out with whoever manages their prescription, not assembled from this thread.

Good discussion, staying honest without turning into anything that reads as regret about the outcome itself. This is the kind of nuance this community should be able to hold.

Good thread. Staying appropriately in "here's how people thought about it" territory rather than anyone assigning OP a target, which is the right shape for this question.

Pinning this. Good, well-hedged post — describes ranges people report rather than telling anyone what to take, which is the standard we want. edit: fixed a typo in the 1.0→1.7 row, it originally said 8 weeks not 8–12.

Leaving this up as-is, no action needed. This is exactly the kind of honest post this community should have room for without turning into unsolicited advice in every reply.

Flairing Resolved for the followup, and genuinely glad to see this arc complete this way. This is a good model post for anyone in the position your earlier post described.

Good thread, staying in "what should I check" territory rather than "should I go up", which is the right shape here — that second question is for whoever manages your prescription.

Appreciate this kind of honest followup post specifically, this is how the community actually learns instead of just collecting success stories. Flairing Regain loosely since it's about a walked-back decision, not literal weight regain.

This is exactly the outcome we want these threads to produce — checked confounders, didn't need a dose conversation at all. Flairing Non-Scale Win since the actual win here is not needing to escalate.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Nothing here needs a dose change or a mod action, just time. Leaving up as a good reference thread for the next person who asks this exact question this week — and there will be one.

Stalled for 3 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 28.

This is correct. Rodent data is investigational, not predictive.

Pinning this. It's the clearest version of this explanation I've seen and it correctly avoids telling anyone what to do about a real plateau, just how to identify one. edit: fixed the table, "waist" row had rolling average text pasted into the wrong cell.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Genuinely valuable post, correctly hedged in the comments about what is and isn't proven by trial data. This is a model tapering writeup.

research use only, no human protocols in posts

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with 2.4mg, not with what you concluded.

Good nuance, and correctly avoids the "so should I go up" jump. Whether an 8-week plateau warrants a dose conversation is a question for whoever prescribes it, not this thread.

the 15mg is the top of the pen, not the required dose
