[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 143611, member: 3647"] Jennifer, I know that you are scared, but 25 truly is a very low dose. I take 200 per day. The effects usually don't show up for 4-6 weeks when taking this, so weaning off by taking the 25 every other day is appropriate, especially after only having been on it for a month. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with going every other day 25 for a week, then every other day 12 for a week. That would not hurt at all, and if it made YOU feel better, then do it. Yeah, the bedside manner is atrocious anymore. So many doctors go by what they read in a textbook and completely discount what a patient is telling them. When I was in the hospital last year with breathing trouble, the cocky attending physician argued with me about being allergic to steroids. He told me that it was not possible. So there I am, sick in bed, can't breathe, on oxygen, fighting with this jerk. Finally I say fine, give me the frickin Medrol. Two hours lather the nurse paged him, and he came to my room to find me on the toilet, with a bucket in my hands, getting sick out of both ends at the same time. I said "thanks a lot, ya jerk, NOW do you believe me?" Hang in there. AD's are hit and miss. What works for me might not work for you. Prozac made me want to crawl out of my skin, but Zoloft works beautifully for me. Everyone is different, though. Something about the things in your brain (LOL I should know this...) [/QUOTE]
