I was wondering if perhaps the severity of side effects from taking dex was related to the dosage: I am NOT a thin person (read: need to lose 30 lbs!), so was on a high dose of dex (dosage is calculated by weight, right?). Although most of my really annoying symptoms didn’t kick in until later in my pregnancy, I was wondering if those of you who experienced little or no side effects were on low doses (those of you who are close to your ideal body weight). Conversely, if you had severe symptoms, are you overweight (and will you admit it?! ; ) Interesting .......
