@theodorastronger Medication doses are frequently discussed and questioned and pondered over. Have you asked your doctor about the higher dose that they want you to start on? You could ask on the portal (do you have access and/or, does the doctor’s office even use one ?) You could ask the question and then delay the first dose until you get an answer. How do you think the doctor will respond?

Yes, thank you; that is excellent advice. I feel like I'm asking a lot of questions of her and apologizing for that--but I know I should just go ahead and ask my doctor!

I've been reading up on this and found some interesting studies that were published in NIH saying that a larger dose does not worsen side effects compared to a smaller dose. But I'll ask.
