And you are right....I'd rather do one drug at a time in small doses to keep the ratio intact. Sometimes being stabile is bland because our normal is the topsy turvy!
Thank you for the response! I'm pretty sensitive to changes too, which was why I hoped to go up to 75 first. If the doc says we can scale back to 75 this week, does anyone know if I will be harmed from taking 100 for two days, like a withdrawal effect?
