Slightly tangential to Has anyone dealt with do but CanadaChris reminded me β has the insurance landscape changed recently?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered β I did search first.
Thanks for sharing this, CanadaChris. A few questions about your Has anyone dealt experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about Has anyone deal?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
OP here β wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with do.
To answer DerekSJ_a1c: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.
Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion β this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. π
