Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Most of what circulates confidently in this community traces back to one summary of one study, and the qualifier was dropped somewhere in the third retelling.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Following on from mona_PHX — and this may be the naive question:

How much of the between-person variation is pharmacokinetic and how much is just adherence measured badly?

I read this differently from SleepDoc_PDX, on substance rather than tone. Steady state is the thing most people miss. The terminal half-life is about a week, so every dose step takes four to five weeks to fully express itself. Judging a step at day ten is judging the ascent, not the plateau, and it is the single commonest reason people escalate before they needed to.

Agreed, and one caution: a single measurement is not a measurement. Anything that moves day to day needs a trend before it means anything at all.
