I have to agree with Bob. It takes awhile for the symptoms to ease off. You may even see more symptoms as the dose increases. I'm at 600 mg a day, 300 at bed and the rest spaced thru the day depending on activity (like going to work). I started at 75 mg twice a day a few weeks ago. Just now the swelling of hands and feet have shown their ugly head - have call into neurologist to see if anything can be done to counter act that side effect. I found the dizzy/drowsy/unsteadiness to increase with each increased dose, but I got use to them after 1-2 weeks. Stick with it....I've found it beneficial. Will let you know what the neurologist says - if and when he calls me back. I find neurologists to be the hardest doctors to form a connection with.
