question from a user
Why is it so hard to get your dose increased from 100 when you felt better at the beginning as you still had natural production?
AlphaMD's Answer
That would definitely need to be a conversation to have with your medical provider. But all I can say is that it is not uncommon to need to make a few dose adjustments in order to dial in the dose that best suits you and your individual response to the treatment.
Another opinion - 100mg is generally a pretty low dose, they may be a more conservative provider. We typically don't start anyone under 140mg unless they have concerns about higher doses, even for the lowest of patients.
