Sorry, I should have directed this to Theo.
Mercedes> Scooter, congratulations on having the courage to make the jump. I made that step around last Dec. and don't remember having any SE. Maybe it was because I had been on 37.5 for about a year do to a pdoc that never raised my dose. Repeating myself here but, I moved and found a new pdoc and he gradually raised me to 300mgs. I think it was either at the 150 or 225 level that I finally had some energy and my life and spirit were returning. I still have the sweating SE but I've always sweat, now I rain. I drink alot of water though which I never did before.

After a few weeks of 37.5mg, by the end of the day I felt like it was wearing off, hopefully the change to 75mg will make a positive difference. I will keep you posted!
