Sharing drug/dosing info...please read!

You are welcome to share information about the medications and dosages that are helping you, but please keep in mind that many factors are weighed before a drug is RX'd specifically for each of us.


Insurance coverage, body weight, other health issues...many things are taken into consideration and we all need to follow what our own health team prescribes for us, not what works for your neighbor, friend, etc.


If you hear of something that seems to be working for another, the best you can do for yourself is take that info to your doctor and discuss it. He/she will either agree that you may benefit, or will explain why it is not a good choice for you.


Please keep this in mind, when any member suggests that what they are currently taking is the best remedy...it may be, for them!
