v.malinowski, post #1: Posting this under the heading it deserves: Vomiting: when it is expected and when it is a reason to stop Everything below is what sits behind that. Reporting something rather than asking about it, in case the pattern is useful to anyone else. Over 9 weeks I logged this consistently: date, dose, time of day, and a simple severity score… Go to post
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.
Helpful, and easy to find again, which is half of what a good reply is.

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

Two sources, same conclusion, and I could not rule out that one copied the other.
endo_fellow_rk, post #29: 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. I would treat that as a working assumption and revisit it. Go to post

That is the practical version. The rigorous version is longer and says the same thing.

crossref_check, post #2: Answering the question the opening post raises rather than the one it answers. 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. On reflection I would soften that slightly. Go to post
Adding the measurement that post #49 says would settle it.

Tracking severity on a simple scale with dates is far more useful than describing it afterwards. Memory smooths a symptom curve into a story that fits what you expected.
One more caveat and then I will stop qualifying: the sample selected itself.

On post #110 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.
