> I am not feeling horrendous, so that's a good thing. I haven't given up on Marplan yet. I have been taking 60mg for 5 days. I suppose I should give it another 3 weeks as a minimum. Sometimes, I feel like there is a hint of improvement, but it might just be wishful thinking on my part.I would strongly encourage you to do so, and if no significant improvement by then, ask for a push to 80--80 was needed for some folks in some of the studies citied on Marplan's website (see the healthcare professionals tab).
My appetite decreased before the full theraputic effects appeared also, and I too had brief periods where I felt more like myself that faded before the effect was consistent.
I started this drug one month ago today. :-)
You'll continue to be in my thoughts until you remit!

> I am extremely happy to hear that you are responding to Marplan. It is probably a better drug than how it has been judged in the past, probably because the dosages used were too low. The maximum dosage had been 30mg. It is now 60mg.
