IMainwaring, post #98: Confirming post #96 from a second method, which matters more than confirming it from a second person. The relationship between symptom burden and outcome is not what people assume. Feeling worse is not evidence of a larger effect and feeling nothing is not evidence of an inactive preparation. Go to post

Coming back to post #119, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Vomiting: when it is expected (first-dose reactions or early titration) and when it is a reason to stop and seek help are different. Occasional vomiting during titration is ordinary. Persistent vomiting or vomiting of a new character later in treatment warrants contact with your clinician.

This is where my knowledge stops and I would rather mark the edge than blur it.

Post #119 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

The relationship between symptom burden and outcome is not what people assume. Feeling worse is not evidence of a larger effect and feeling nothing is not evidence of an inactive preparation.

That is what the documentation says. What happens in practice is usually close.

p.ostergaard, post #5: Narrowing post #4, because the general version has more than one answer. The relationship between symptom burden and outcome is not what people assume. Feeling worse is not evidence of a larger effect and feeling nothing is not evidence of an inactive preparation. That has been true for the cases I have seen and I have not seen many. Go to post

I had written a reply contradicting post #124 and deleted it. Here is what survived.

The published rates come from populations that were titrated on a defined schedule with clinical supervision. Rates from a forum are not comparable and are biased by who chooses to post.

The right answer here may simply be that it has not been measured.
