How much need to adjust?

Surely that's for your doctor to advise. We are all patients here, we are not medical professionals.

Hi SeasideSusie,

thanks for the message.

My doctor asks me to go for RAI, and I refuse. I’m adjusting the pills myself. Currently on ½ pill per day. will adjust to ¾ pill tomorrow. Any expert around here to advise?

As I said, we are all patients and we can only relate our own experiences.

This is a patient to patient forum, there are no medical professionals here, so no-one can actually give you any "expert advice" on this.

If a member told you to adjust your meds by xxx and you did it, and you were unwell as a result, then there is the problem of who takes responsibility for that wrong "advice" - the person telling you to adjust your meds or you for taking advice from a complete stranger with no medical training?
