If they start on a high dose, than that is The recipe for trouble.
They have told that they did a lot of research and that story is positioned as being the cause for the high price, but if they didn't even work out the fact that you have to start in a gradual build up phase, then I am really starting to question the quality and duration of their research.
Good thinking Jim!
