Hello,
Thought I would add an update....after getting my dose to 400 mg a day I began to have blackouts ( I do not drink alcohol at all) and had bumps on my head without knowing how I got them and got a full blown kidney/bladder infection with tons of pain and some blood so I backed off to 1 at bedtime. I became lax with internet security, allowed someone to get close enough to steal my dh's nerve med;s...I think you get the idea. I would rather deal with pain then give up my mental abilities. I am also dealing with possible ID theft when I was so zonked on the meds and is the main reason I have not been posting much......as I had a great deal of paranoia along with other side effects. I do not think we are gien all of the facts with many of these meds.
I am happy for those that are benefitting from it but no more for me!
