Titrating on tolerability rather than on the calendar

On the subject in the title: Titrating on tolerability rather than on the calendar Working notes rather than a conclusion.

An honest uncertainty about titrating on tolerability rather than a disguised assertion.

I do not know the answer and I have not been able to find one. What I have is the shape of the question, which may be worth more than my guess at the answer.

The most common practical error is not the schedule at all — it is losing track of which step you are on after a break, and then resuming at the top rather than re-approaching it.

If symptoms reset at each step, that is the expected pattern rather than a sign that the previous adaptation was imaginary. Every dose increase is a new exposure.

A weak preference rather than a position.
