The line between titrate-through and stop is not severity, it is trajectory and what else is present.

I dislike how confidently this board tells people to push through. Incidence figures around 20 to 25% at the higher doses are class-typical, but the trials also had a discontinuation column, and "manageable with protocols" is not the same as manageable for everyone.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Happy to go further on any of that.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.

Following on from jason_sac26 — and this may be the naive question:

Whether holding at a lower dose for longer actually reduces total side-effect burden or just spreads it out?

Reporting back.

Update. It was not the dose, it was that I had stopped drinking anything because drinking made me feel full. Fixing that fixed most of it.
