I haven't actually kept track but it seems every medicine I take works for a couple of weeks maybe a month and then it doesn't. The fact they worked at all encourages my doctors to prescribe larger doses. The larger doses don't work either but that is where I stay. It is like my body takes a couple of weeks to adjust.
This applies to my epilepsy medicine as well as the steroid doses they put me on for ITP. I question whether the medicine does anything after the initial couple of weeks and certainly question the higher doses.
