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. For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine. Half the figures circulating in this community trace back to a secondary summary that dropped a qualifier.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person. Both are real; they answer different questions and get quoted as if they were the same one.

Following on from FranDenver — 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?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Follow-up: smaller meals, less fat in the two days after dosing, and not lying down afterwards. Unglamorous, and it worked within a fortnight.
