[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If doctors are purposely starting their patients at 1.7 that's so irresponsible and dangerous I don't even know what to say. It could certainly hospitalize and maybe even kill someone, and I'm not exaggerating; some people respond really strongly and an initial dose of 1.7 could leave you throwing up unable to keep anything down for a week.

OP here. Yep.  I’m seeing a lot of people going to the ER on social media (including for dehydration induced tachycardia), and a lot vomiting for days, but unwilling to admit to their MD that they have side effects.  But, there are a lot of doctors, PAs, etc getting rich of prescribing this, and I guess they don’t want to take the income hit until  September. Especially since someone determined to access the drugs will doctor shop. And someone who will doctor shop may be trying to eat fried foods, dessert and drink soda before starting at 1.7 mg.

I wasn’t worried about going from 1.0 to 1.7 (and was thankful I started in early April and was able to get through the low doses). But, now I’m wondering if the reports of 1.7 shortages in this area are real, or just social media hysteria? [/quote]
