v.okonkwo, post #3: 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. Not a conclusion. A place to stand while looking for one. Go to post

Post #3 put the caveat in the right place and I want to underline it.

A symptom that starts weeks after a dose has been stable is a different observation from one that starts after an escalation, and it deserves a different explanation.

Posting my Dizziness on standing numbers with the method attached so they can be discounted properly. Uncontrolled, unblinded, and collected by someone who wanted a particular answer.

Adding what did not work for me on Dizziness on standing, since the failures never get written up and they are half the useful information.

Post #37 and I disagree about the size of the effect, not about the direction.

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.

If anyone can point at the primary source I would be grateful.

s.leclerc, post #40: Everything in post #36 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have. Distinguishing three things in the Dizziness on standing discussion that keep getting used interchangeably: the observation, the proposed mechanism, and the recommendation that gets attached to both. Go to post

Post #56 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

My position on Dizziness on standing is current rather than settled. I have revised it once already and I expect to again, so treat it accordingly.

Where the Dizziness on standing reasoning breaks down for me is the step from the group result to the individual case. That step is almost never argued for.

Reading back through the Dizziness on standing threads from last year, the same three questions come up every time and only one of them has ever been answered properly. That seems like a documentation gap rather than a knowledge gap.

I would put this at better than even and not much better.
