If it's something she'd like to try again I would get her feeling normal first and once she does start with 25mcg/ed and increase to 50mcg/ed as needed. 50mcg/ed may be all she needs. From there, if an increase is needed and she's tolerating it well, try increasing 12.5mcg. I would make all increases from 25mcg and above in 12.5mcg increments and only every few weeks as needed. Again, the 50mcg/ed range may be more than enough.
