Thank you for your encouragement. I am heartened and I think I will explore those higher doses like 15 or 20mg.
But I have to admit to still being a litle bit worried about side effects. I don't mean those sorts of side effects where you feel dizzy or forget things or feel lethargic or have a headache.
I mean side effects where some damage may get done to, say, your liver. It's this sort of thing which you don't get to notice it at the time. Then a long time later the damage becomes permanent. Of course, in this example I'm just guessing but it's an illustration of the sort of thing I am thinking about.
