Hey Vincent!
Looks like were Parnate buddies again? Nobody cares how many times you change your mind! You have to do whats right for you. Couple things before I forget:
1. Captain America just posted an article (well two actually but one we haven't seen before, its great! have a look)
2. Side effects, especially BP fluctuations have gone away almost completely, BP runs a little low but if I add salt, etc I could bring it up easily.
My point is that the higher the dose, the less the side effects, I noticed that for myself, and I believe the article adresses that as well. So don't be afraid BP problems will get worse, they will probably get better IMHO.3. I've had second thoughts a couple times, but when I had that period of time that felt like full remission? I knew I was on the right track. Also, I've had a couple of times where I was in a hurry and forgot my pills, boy did I remember I could feel a lot worse. I think we tend to forget.
So, Vincent you are at a very low dose, will you increase slowly? I'm sure those few days won't make a difference (well, I'm not SURE but I doubt it) Don't be afraid to increase doses 30mg is what I started at, the higher you go the less side effects, I would suggest talking to your PDoc about getting up to a therapeutic range, ask Scott tho, he knows better than I.
Always good to here from you, no matter what you decide! Hope you are happy about your decision. I'm sure it was a hard one to make. Keep me posted!!
