Regardless. I’m wondering — if you are on this medication — how did you know that it was working? Did you feel anything, or did you just become aware of some effect?

I got to 150 and decided to sit there and it was really helping me , that gave me wiggle room if I needed to go up.

The rash shows up mucus membrane areas like mouth , I took Triliptal for 5 days and my gums started bleeding, was early rash I was fine in a day or so , any mouth soreness or bleeding is a huge sign to DUMP the Med right away. There is a very little chance of the full rash to be honest.
