myopia - physostigma

I have been taking physostigma 6c for approximatelyy 7 months now based on some readings in various books and this website.

I have been taking the 6c potency once a day and have noticed almost no improvement. Should I increase the potency to 30c once a day or take the 6c more frequently.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Immediately stop the medicine and contact a good, exprienced, qualified local homeopath.

Sajjad,

Actually I was just reading one of your posts where you recommended 30c potency. You don't think it it worth a try...

Thanks,
Richard

If 6c didn't help you even after 7 months, it is unlikely that 30c will help you.

Even low potencies like 6c should be discontinued after a few weeks, and time should be given to observe the remedy response.

Hi Sajjad

You used to give repertorial analysis.

That will help many, to understand why a medicine is selected and how.

Particularly when medicine is selected bases on a questionnery.
