Does holding at 5 mg for eight weeks before escalating reduce nausea?

Asked 10 Aug 2025Modified 12 months agoViewed 896 times

What I am working with: 5 mg · eight weeks · nausea.

The empirical answer seems settled. The explanation does not.

If the honest answer is that nobody knows, I would rather hear that than a plausible story.

Why does this happen, and what would falsify the usual explanation?

Good answer, but the confidence interval in the cited trial is wider than implied. – Dr_Elias_Weiss 4 months ago
