How to judge the response to the first intake of your remedy? (and the consequent doses)

your remedy? (and the consequent doses)"
Having said that - one of the worst aggravations I've seen came from one
dose of Causticum 6C in water. That means - 1 tiny grain of Causticum 6C
in 20ml water+brandy, succussed, one drop in one cup of water, 1/2 tsp
dose. Taken once only. The aggravation went on for almost a month -
coffee made it slightly gentler, but did not antidote. The patient
absolutely refused to take any other homeopathic remedy. As far as I could
tell, after the aggravation an amelioration set in, including drop in blood
sugar and drop in blood pressure which were high - but the patient left
homeopathy, I doubt if she will ever come back!
knowing that she was sensitive - that wasn't the impression I got during
the intake. But since then, I prefer to start those with deep pathology
with an olfactory dose, and have found that some continue and do well on
olfaction alone.
work in a way that there are much less aggravations from medicinal
solutions (watery doses) than from dry, it's certainly not, if you'll
forgive the pun, watertight.

For those who are sensitive I use 6C in 8 oz of water and then use anywhere
from a drop to a teaspoon in a 4-8 oz cup and sometimes go to a 2nd or 3rd
cup.
I would suggest that 20 ml is almost the same as taking it dry
But it is hard to tell what will be too strong.
Going with olfactory is a good idea just to test the dose.

Yes, it is very individual but part of the key is a larger amount of water
to dilute in to begin with

dry - even if just because I have patients who have taken dry and 20ml and
can attest to the difference. In addition, repetitions through 20ml
succussed don't cause aggravations as a rule, although it's individual.
Having said that, David Little does state that Hahnemann liked the 4oz
solutions best, and that they were least likely to cause aggravation. I
have compliance problems with many patients where the larger bottles are
concerned, so I try to compensate for that by using olfactory doses and
double and even triple dilution glasses where necessary. Any ideas on
compliance?

Why would a patient not like a larger bottle?
I've never had that problem. It just stays at home on the shelf or in the
refrigerator.
