Something I have been sitting with: A year at the same dose and my bloods are fine Not looking for advice so much as other people's experience.

I do not know if this belongs in this circle. Move me if not.

I am aware some of this may be nothing. I would still like to know whether other people have had it, because I have spent a fortnight assuming I am the only one.

I have written down what has actually happened, in order, because I find that more useful than my summary of it.

Not looking for a plan. Just company and whatever anyone has found.

Different experience here, for balance. Mine did not improve and in the end I stopped, and that was the right call for me. Both outcomes exist.

The phrase that unlocked my appointment was asking what specifically she wanted me to watch for. It moved us from reassurance to a plan in about thirty seconds.

No advice, just recognition. That sounds exhausting and I am sorry you are in it.

Yes. All of this. I had the same in my third month and I remember thinking there was something specifically wrong with me, which there was not.

Building on what the reply above wrote rather than answering the original question.

Mine lasted about seven weeks and then lifted over a few days. I cannot tell you why. I can tell you it lifted.

the reply above said something I want to sit with for a second.

Two things that helped me, neither of them clever: small amounts more often, and drinking a lot more than felt necessary.

I would take that to a clinician rather than to us, and I would do it this week. Not because it is definitely serious — because it is the sort of thing that is much easier to rule out than to worry about.

It got worse before it got better for me, which I wish someone had said. About ten days of worse.

For what it is worth, the trial data on this is thinner than the confidence of the internet would suggest. Worth knowing when you read the posts.

Reading the reply above, I recognised more of that than I expected to.

Have you got anyone who can be with you when you do it? It made an enormous difference to me and I felt silly asking.

The thing that changed it for me was going slower, agreed with my prescriber. I am not suggesting you do that. I am saying the conversation exists.

What the reply above described happened to me too, in a slightly different order.

I will leave this open for a few more days and then add it to the circle's resources, because the answers here are better than anything I would have written.

I am about four months behind you and I have been dreading exactly this, so thank you for writing it down before I got there.
