> "used to it" is such a disarmingly accurate way of putting it. This happens for medication too. If you're on a specific drug for your whole life, it may be disruptive to switch to a different medication even if it's notionally better. I take a pill every morning, and will for the rest of my life, would I prefer one I took every other day? Not really, it sounds like I'd just miss days sometimes. If it had fewer side effects? I haven't noticed any effects now, despite the list in the leaflet so "fewer" doesn't sound like a meaningful improvement. In the first few days maybe even weeks of taking it I'd have been open to any improvements, but now I've settled into a habit, so any change needs a serious justification.
