I have the same concern Dr wants me to go from 500mg to 1000mg I have reservations but going to try it for a month until I go for my next blood draw
Seems like lot my numbers went down good and then seems to stay around 760 65years old very active
I take them at night so I don't be tired in the daytime
Will chat with you to share results next month.

I don't know what all might be driving your doc's decision to double yr dose, but a 20 pt jump in platelets after a 300 pt drop seems pretty insignificant. It sure would not hurt if you asked if you could build up to that new dose more gradually. He might say no, but at least he'd explain why he wants to ramp up so quickly.
