Hi Guys,
Sorry for the repost - but I've searched and have not been able to find what I'm looking for. I will be starting Mepro for the first time in the next few weeks and remember several inputs on side effects and links concerning this.
I promise to copy this info down if you wouldn't mind posting it again.

Thank you so much

Take mepron with a meal with some fat for better absorption

My daughter got terrible vertigo when starting it. Not sure if it was the mepron or a herx. It lasted quite a while but it did go away.

The best part is her terrible migrains, sweats/chills and neck pain went away too. She has not had a migrain since taking it.

I've had extremely disturbing nitemares. I worked thru the depression. I had it for a month or more.

I've been feeling wwaaaayyyy better since mepron. I just started my 3rd month. I hope I only need it another month more.
