Hello Maria
I am very glad to hear that the Mepacrine is helping
I take 100mgs a day which is the usual dose prescribed in the USA, along with the other anti malarial but I know that a lower dose is usually prescribed in the UK which tends to be more conservative. Start low and work up, rather than high and then lower. Dr D Cruz at St Thomas' was happy for me to stay on it.
I don't know why your Dr wouldn't let you take more to see if it helps more. We had a very detailed thread about the dosage topic. Lola takes it on its own too, 3x 100mgs a week maybe and Nicky started at 100 a day if I remember rightly. I expect they'll reply.
I'll look for the long thread now
