Seems to me that the 48hr regime is kind of pointless, especially if you can avoidf the 'scary symptoms' that some people with no knowledge have harped on about.
Obviously you have done your research , unlike the people who make the negative claims. you have to question people who make unfounded claims and make false accusations that can be easily proven wrong by people who have actually spent time researching these things. After all we are all told to do our research, that way you don't look like an idiot when your pretending talk about something you clearly don't know about!!!
I'm not saying don't ask questions thats perfectly fine, but if your going to make out that you know about something and think your an expert. It usually helps if you know what your on about and have done your research IMO
If the 48 hour is pointless, it wouldn't be in the PPH. It has worked very successfully for some on here with sensitive stomachs. Thats an individual decision that people need to weigh up based on their concerns e.g if it's EPS, then no test and stat dose seems to be the better option.
No one has made themselves out to be an "expert". People start their research from the PPH which was written by experts. PPH says to test prior to and lists some adverse symptoms such as vomiting and more personal experiences can be found online. You can't invalidate those potential side effects. Then it lists alternatives if meto isn't suitable because sometime it's not. If you think the PPH gives people no knowledge then I suggest you talk to Dr N about that. Some members have also gone to a lot of trouble to discuss it like in this thread I posted above to help educate people https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/n-protocol-regime-regimen-notes.27092/
We come here to find a method to cbt and figure out what's best by asking questions, looking through threads, looking online and hearing others experiences. My adverse symptoms came on within 30mins, not after one hour. Meto works within the hour and some symptoms can come on within that time frame. I know someone who took 30mg, didn't test, and couldn't go through with it because he said his stomach was too sore. He couldn't move so had to move to the 48 hour regime weeks later and successfuly cbt. Hence why I tested and my concern given my reaction to 10mg but another friend did 30mg and didn't notice a thing. Felt no different.
Everyone is different and their own individual experiences after testing and following the PPH advice are not discounted because they are not an "expert". It's a decision that every individual person needs to weigh up considering their own needs, concerns and their reactions based on past use of prescriptions and after proper research with what they feel comfortable with.
