I use iTunes for Windows to download podcasts and then put them on my iPod. (I am aware of how behind the times I am, thank you.)

I have two podcasts that aren't downloading and both are Buzzsprout podcasts. I've tried rebooting and updating my computer; making sure I'm logged into iTunes; downloading the episodes directly from the store; turning my VPN on and off. The error message says that I need authorization but these should be free episodes from these podcasts (they do have paid episodes, but I'm not subscribed to those feeds).

Anyone else run into this issue? Any other suggestions?

I'm on week 3 of 25mg and I'm just can't get enough calories per day. The other side effects are tolerable (some nausea, skin sensitivity, slight increased heart rate) so that isn't really a factor. I sent a message to my doctor and he said to back down to 9mg.

However, I was wondering if anyone had tried doing 25mg every other day instead of decreasing and if that worked. I figure that way, I'd be getting a higher dosage overall AND saving money, as I'm paying out of pocket (making a 30 day supply last 60 would be great). I also wonder if that would allow me to eat at least a bare minimum.

I'm willing to play it by ear month to month until I get this dialed in. I know some people are going to say tough it out and force myself to eat more and I just don't think I can do that. I lost weight at every dose before now, so I don't think dropping down would hinder that, at least.
