The neurologist seemed to want to get me to that high dose as fast as possible grrrrrrrrr. hmmmm after saying that to you, I can see that the pharmacy will be more help getting off of it than the neurologist. Thanks for sharing this with me.

When I wanted to taper off the Neurologist said you can do It slower than what is recommended for most. In other words just take off 100 mg from the evening dose for one week, then another 100 the following week from both the evening and afternoon dose and so forth........
