Does holding at 60 mg for two weeks before escalating reduce headache?

Asked 8 Apr 2025Modified 16 months agoViewed 12k times

What I am working with: 60 mg · two weeks · headache.

I keep seeing this stated as a fact with no explanation attached, and unexplained facts make me suspicious.

My background is quantitative but not chemical, so I can follow an equation more easily than a hand-wave.

What is the causal chain, and where does it stop being established?
