Hi,
I am very happy your doctor agreed. As you might know, I am finding it very hepful already for SA and I just been on 60 for only 3 weeks now. Full effects need 4 to 6 weeks to appear. But it really looks promising. Not sure what your doctor thinks your target dose should be. I have read many places articles wriiten by doctors who say that the dose should be at least 1mg/kg. This means 75mg for me. I might try this but I am waiting til the side effects subside a little (only constipation). The sexual side effects are controlled for now by the Periactin, and anorgasmia isn't so awful after all, cause the it's really "anejaculation" and that's it, there is some sort of climax after all.
You must remmember that we all are different and you never know how you will react for it. For me it was much kinder than I expected. Hypotension and faintness lasted only for 3 days when I started the 60mg, the constipation is getting better, and simply that's it. Sorry to tell you, however, but I suspect I am gaining weight, haven't measured but feel it on clothes! This really doesn't bother me personally, at least so far. But I think you can get around it if you watch closely watch what and how much you eat. Just wait and see...
Good luck,
Ted.
