    I have just upped my to 100mg, but was told that it would take at least two weeks to help. Just keep going, give it a bit long and if don't improve then go back to your Dr. I Hope you get the results you want very soon.

    Hi Don

    i am beginning to think the same.  Had a bad day yesterday and today.  Getting quite concern about my appetite.  How's yours.  Going to speak with my dr on Monday.
