A couple of good days in week 3 then doom and gloom again followed by a few good days at the start of week 4. I’m back in doomsville again the last few days and feeling very tearful and terrified. I should know the answer by now but just can’t reassure myself is this rollercoaster normal. I was feeling so hopeful last week that things were on the up but now I’m terrified the increase won’t work and I can’t bear the thought of another med change
Five weeks is a little too early to draw any conclusions, Jo. The fact there have been good days suggests it could work.
