Responses to these medications differ widely from one individual to another regarding both the adverse reactions and the beneficial outcomes. Beginning with amounts below the usual recommendations helps minimize the chance of abrupt uncomfortable reactions. For instance someone could experience slight queasiness after eight milligrams while someone else might throw up after just two. The typical initial amounts were selected because they tend to keep serious reactions uncommon at the outset. Taking one milligram over several weeks seems reasonable though not required and going even smaller often proves unnecessary for the majority. Individuals who carry little excess weight or only a modest amount appear to react more intensely to smaller amounts. In such situations using reduced amounts with gradual steps upward is logical since potential downsides aren't offset by gains from addressing excess weight. These individuals also tend not to require large amounts eventually. I'm uncertain whether the pace of increasing amounts influences the level at which reactions occur for a given person as that only becomes clear through trial. Experiencing minor reactions early on suggests they may intensify later so pacing the steps more carefully helps and that seems to be the main benefit of gradual small steps. Adjustment to stomach related reactions such as queasiness tends to occur gradually often more so than even careful increase schedules. Notably this marks the third account here of a sudden anxiety like event after beginning reta which hasn't appeared in the research and might warrant attention.
I shouldn't forget their main aim is earning cash by dealing substances. It makes little sense to raise the amounts when the weekly target still gets missed.
