I think height/weight should always be considered with any medication. I was average h/w and now skinny with the stress of being ill. I tend to lose rather than gain. I've probably lost a good 30-35 lbs or more since the start of this. It doesn't help with the fast heart rate either. Starting on 15mg on 6/23, I went from barely able to walk or turn over in bed to being pain free within hours. Now I'm on 11.25mg (split daily) with no pain from PMR. I'll give this doseage a month and try 10 then go down .5 monthly from there. That's the plan anyway.
Good news, my doctor is waiving my jury duty. So stupid a judge deemed me disabled in 2001 yet I get called for jury duty? Make it make sense.
