    Hey Ruth, from 100 to 200 sounds like a big up of sert. I also was told to take 100mg for a fortnight then up it to 100 but I didn't, I upped it to 150 for the following fortnight and started feeling myself again. I stayed on 150 for the next fortnight and bingo I was actually able to leave my house no problems ? swollen leg ?? If I were You, I would let my Doc know about that. Some folk can react to such a big shift in dosage, you may be better off just going 50 at a time. All the best and get well soon 😀

    Hi Ruth, why did you go up to 200mg. Was it because after 4 months on 100mg you didn't see any improvements at all?

    It seems to me what you are currently experiencing are the side effects made worse by the increase in dosage.
