I think you could consider an increase to 18.75 mg DMSA and do that for several rounds before increasing. Don't even think about starting ALA at a 25 mg dose! If you were sensitive to DMSA, then it is a good bet that you need to start ALA at a low dose, too. I would wait awhile until you get up to 25 mg of DMSA, then add ALA at 6 mg. No sense risking the misery you had before. -- > Many thanks > > Charlie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
