Your liver may have been metabolizing it quicker than that other man, therefore causing you to have to take a higher dosage in order to maintain the right amount of it in your system to get the treatment to work. He may have also had more side effects, causing his drs. to decide to lower his dosage. It's a tricky little thing.
They started me out on that dose from the very beginning. How did they know how my liver would react in the beginning? I was just wondering if any other female my weight was on a similar dosage to me. That's all. I have my own reasons for not trusting the doctors I had, so do not want to ask them.
