dear off,

don't give up. keep searching for a better dr. how did you get the med to begin with? asking the pharmacist is a great idea. also, when you pick up a med at the pharmacy they have to give you info on it. if you want to dig deep ask for the manufacturer's handout. that gets technical but has "everything" on the med.

do you have a neuro? this isn't a med you can just take here and there. it has to be taken regularly no matter what the dose. it's typical with many meds to incrementally advance on a dosage and to come off the same way. otherwise you get side effects. that doesn't mean you're addicted. i don't see how this med could be considered an addictive med but best to ask a pharmacist or dr.

please keep up posted.
