[Results] 11 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
11 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones.
To save the first four comments: 11 weeks and 7.5mg.
What the evidence says about stopping, written plainly because the framing does real damage.
Withdrawal studies across this class consistently show substantial regain after discontinuation. Appetite typically returns first, well before weight changes. This is a finding about the pharmacology of a chronic condition, in the same way that blood pressure rises again when an antihypertensive is stopped.
People on this board quit in shame over an entirely predictable result, and then avoid coming back because they have interpreted it as a personal failure. It is not. Knowing that in advance is the single most useful thing this board can offer anybody planning to stop.
The habits are what carried it for a while. When they slipped, everything else followed, in that order.
Would rather be corrected in public than confident in private.

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.
Stretched from seven days to ten to twelve over four months. Appetite told me where the limit was each time.
That reads as advice to stop, which is not something anyone here should be offering.
