Thanks for the responses :-) Sorry its taken me a while to reply...busy weekend!
Feeling pretty ill on the 8 a day regime, but I got used to that from when I went up to 6!
I have a blood test booked in a couple of weeks so at least I'll get an idea of whether the high dose is having any negative effects. I had a chat with my Dermatologist about it becasue the BAD advice was 6 tablets max per day, but in Germany the max is 12!
My Derm also told me that its not licensed here because they have not done the research to determine which of the 4 esters are 'active ingredients' (i.e. provide the clinical benefits). I'm not sure how accurate this is but I do find it interesting, and the fact that it can be prescribed here on the NHS without being licensed!
Caroline - I'll definitely have a look at your post when I get the chance...interesting stuff!
