clearer. BobB did raise some good points. My own instance was while my PN was progressing, I'd be rx'ed an tranquilizer to help me thru a few family situations. I was totally fogged out on one pill for three days...not enuf to get any benefit, but the s/e's were bad enuf to warrant concern.

W/neuro meds, tho, it DOES take several weeks to feel the effects both good and bad. They are absolutely [once on them for 2 weeks] are NOT something you just STOP! tho....

I'm finding that all out BIG-Time w/a post-cancer treatment...It's one of those meds that has every s/e listed on at least one of my existing meds and then some! In my case, it's become which doc do I call when a new s/e pops up?

In the end, give it a try, unless things seem sort of 'life threatening'...read the meds' fine prints and call your doc w/the questions of 'IS THIS NORMAL?' as often as you need it. As before those phone calls are far cheaper than ER trips! Only YOU know how bad or strange things are for YOU!

Super good thoughts for the duration tho.... - j
