I am not sure if you are Japanese (it's the hiroko part of blue hiroko), but I wanted to add that if you do medications you may want to start out with the lowest dosage possible.
I am half-Japanese and my neurologist explained that often Asian women are very sensitive to the dosage requirements (which are often calculated and metabolized differently for caucasian women).
