Is there a direct relationship between medication dosage and side effect severity?

Asked by aviona (3260points) April 27th, 2009

For example if you are on a medication with a weight gain or loss side effect will you keep losing/gaining weight exponentially as you increase the dosage? Or is there a stopping point?

And what about side effects that are less tangible, such as dry mouth, do you think the dry mouth would get worse at a higher dosage. It’s logical right? Anyone had personal experience with this?
