How often for a Med Change?
Do you stay on the same medication on the same dose for years, or do you do a body workup once a year and see how you are reacting to the medication? Talk with your doctor and see if you need to get a yearly workup to make sure that your medications are working, working correctly, and don’t need to be altered. There are those people that stay on the same meds and the same dose their entire symptomatic lives. However through that time they are going to age, they may lose weight or gain it, many things can alter your meds ability to work. You may need a lesser dose or an increase. Make sure that if you are having any change in your life with your body chemistry or just in basic aging and weight gain/loss that you tell your doctor about it and make sure that your meds are going to be giving you the same response that you need them too.
