I've had it most of my life but the past year it's got progressively worse. I took just quarter of a 50mg pill today. Side effects were nsome mild nausea but I've also just started iron tablets which do that anyway. Thinking of trying half a pill tomorrow then stabilizing on that for a week or two.
I've been on 50mg for about 3 yrs now and it's great.
I took 25mg for a week then went to 50 where I've been ever since.
Side effects starting off weren't good but the end result was worth it.
