It's good to hear from you...
Due to insurance hassles (which has been acknowledged by my carrier as a recent bug in their billing system about which I, my provider, and the carrier can do NOTHING--they don't even know the source of the problem yet.) I can't see my doctor until this glitch is fixed... I have to stay at 45 until I receive a new Rx and instructions. (If you are wondering why this situation is playing out in a non-third-world country, it's because I get my coverage through a whacky combination of federal, state, and county governments.)
While it'd be tempting to raise the dose on my own, since I tolerate this drug fine, if I run out "early" my insurance will refuse to pay for a refill, so I am sort of stuck. Frustrating. My blip seems to have faded.
And it took 90mg for the effect to be consistent when this drug has worked for me in the past.
If you were faced with this situation, what would you do? Despite your struggles over the years, your advice has always seemed sensible to me.
