Hi

Thanks so much for this. And yes, I thought I should be increasing but no one has told me to!!! I'm on 100mg and 125mg every other day. From reading this, I think I should be increasing by 25mg per day. I had a blood test done but results aren't back. I'm 7 weeks already and haven't increased. Maybe I should start tomorrow.

Thanks
