Stage 4 of 9

Dose-change periods

Symptoms and appetite often shift again around a change in dose. Knowing that in advance makes it easier to drop back to the basics for a week rather than concluding that nothing works.

Questions worth asking your clinician

Take these with you. Appointments are short, and the things that matter most are easy to forget once you are in the room.

  1. What should I expect in the days after a change, and for how long?
  2. At what point does a symptom become a reason to call you?
  3. Is there anything I should do differently with food around a change?
