how do i know if my dose is working

Question Slow Clap ×2

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on what is in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 98.4. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 10 weeks to accept.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
