This is how it works.

The science behind it is supposed to be this, or this is how we understand it.

Common side effects might be the following, but before I go into that, just know not everybody gets a side effect.

You might be somebody who gets none of them.

Some people get some, but we don't know until we try.

We're going to start at a lower dose than even usual because I just want you to get used to taking it and seeing what it's like, and then we'll increase it over time.

So I think when I start out that way and people are like, okay, this might happen, this might not.

And I'm saying, I don't know, let's just see, but I'll be with you as you start this.

I think that can actually make people more comfortable.

No, I don't.

I actually don't.

Because I think if that were the case, my patients wouldn't have gone on the medications.

Because I've talked about some wacky side effects from things too.
