It's been a rough ride for me on this medication, it took a while to kick in and I've had to keep having it increased as I was getting unwell still while on it. It also seemed to start running out too early in the month. I've been on the highest dose now for about a month or two and I've had some symptoms but I haven't got unwell. We'll see if it holds up.
I hope thing can turn out alright for you soon. I am still considering if i m going to try this. The price is quite a big sum and i wonder if it can really help me. i remember taking the oral for a short while but I cant remember why i discontinued. This coming Monday I am to tell my dr the decision. I hope she doesnt make me go inpatient.
