Help after dose increase
Hello everyone! Just curious on if I should discuss decreasing back down with my doctor. I increased my zep to 10mg 6 weeks ago I am 42 weeks into taking this medication but on week 5 of the dose increase I started having some pretty intense GI symptoms diarrhea and just general stomach discomfort, I thought initially it was just timing on something I ate the day before because been there done that. And I know this happens for the first couple days after injection day especially when you first start an increase but 5 weeks in? It hit me this week too on my 6th week which I am at this point like dreading eating which is an awful feeling. I mean this is not a normal side effect right? Not 5-6 weeks into a dose increase? I have an appointment set up with my PCP but curious on thoughts. I only had something similar happen when increasing to 7.5 4 weeks in and similar issues but I also caught norovirus that same week so my PCP said it was more than likely that. But I have had no illness this time around. Thanks for any input!
