> > Thanks for being so helpful JahL! Um, he doesn't see a need, my pdoc I went to in Jan prescribed 10mg, my family doc raised it to 20mg in Feb and then, I went for a 3rd appt to my family doc and he said, "look, everytime you feel stressed out or anxious, I am not upping the dose, you are supposed to develop a natural coping mechanism."
Technically speaking yr doc is talking b*ll*x. How does he propose you develop this mechanism? Through willing organic change in yr brain? His job is to treat the symptoms you present. Period.
The max rec'd dose of Clomip. is 250mg, which means there is a huge dosage range you are yet to explore. 20mg is the *min* dose for anything.
> >So far, I have no side effects whatsoever aside from vibrant/vivid dreams which I've had since taking this med. Well, I am TOO STUPID to really CARE for myself so I honestly DON'T CARE ANYMORE if I WILL GET BETTER OR NOT, I mean, I am TOO SCARED/INTIMIDATED TO EVEN ASK FOR a dose increase, so I WILL JUST SUFFER IN SILENCE I GUESS. FORGIVE MY ATTITUDE, I AM ACTING LIKE A BIG BABY, PERHAPS THAT'S WHAT I AM.
If you find your doc unapproachable/unhelpful, consider a change.
If yr pdoc insists on a treatment plan that clearly isn't working then you may want to review this also.
It's down 2 you.
