I've been on Equilibrant for 5 months now, and have only been able to tolerate 2 pills per day due to side effects of extreme fatigue and flu like symptoms with higher doses. My experience has been that on average, I feel worse, more fatigue overall and very few good days. However, my crashes have been fairly short lived, so that's an improvement. Because I feel worse compared to pre-Equilibrant, I am thinking about stopping. After all, it has been 5 months and I feel worse, not better.
The conflict I'm having is that I am assuming it is working, so to speak, since I feel worse. I thought such a reaction indicates that my body is fighting viruses more effectively and clearing things out, which may take some time. So I am wondering, do I give this more time to work, or should I stop? At what point should I consider Equilibrant to be failing for me? Or do I need to have more patience and give my body time to let the drug work, even if this means more months of suffering before things get better?
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
