My preference is to always even begin at a low dose. Often, that is because it is a med that I have not taken before, but also because I am sensitive to drugs and seem to get a big hit on a low dose. I weigh 125. Even if I get "cleared up" for a period of time, I will take that. I was initially prescribed it for a one month period twice daily. I'll start tomorrow once a day and see how that goes. I really hate the idea of antibiotics,.but there seems no getting around it.
I met a woman at a canoe race in Ontario (55; from Maine) who had UC and a Jpouch done in Boston 35 years ago. No meds and no problems ever! How lucky is she!
D you take then you probiotic morning and antibiotic night?
