I'm on 300mg, not 375mg, but I dont think 375mg is unusual or anything to worry about. I'm very very light, about 48kgs, and female and I seem fine with 300mg. If anything, its not enough. But I think pdoc is gonna add something different next time, coz just increasing my dose (for me anyway) hasn't been that effective. But in any case, you should ask your doctor about the dose size. She won't think you're critising her, you're just interested/concerned about the stuff that you're putting in your body. Honestly, I am like a doctor's worse nightmare! I seem to question EVERYTHING that I don't understand and get into a panic about all the possible things that could go wrong, and need her to reasure me that its all fine. Maybe thats to do with my anxiety, hehe. But seriously, I have major problems with not trusting the doctor or having faith in them. I'm sure they get lots of people like it in their feild, you know? Panicky, untrusting, worried, anxious... Most likely she'll just explain why she thinks 375mg is a good dose for you, and then you can relax :)
