The dosage is based on your levels at testing, so you should take the one that is prescribed.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hair loss and weight changes.

Your doctor should check your levels every few months and adjust your dosage accordingly.

Is there anything else I can help with?
