I worked through the adjustment, but it was hard. Just titrate up slowly and use more when you are home. At the time, I didn't know how much I could play with the dosage. My current neuro gave me a lot more leeway and explained how short acting it is, so it is better to take less more frequently.

For instance, if your neuro rx's 10 mg three times a day, try taking it in 5 mg increments and work up to taking 10 mg at a time during the day. You could take 5 mg before work and while you are at work and then take 10 when you get home.

I generally take a lot more at night (anywhere from 20 - 40 mg) because I was waking up so stiff that I was actually stuck in a position.

I figure that I know a lot of people who work stoned and that is what it felt like to me. I wasn't at my best that week, but it was worth it in the long run.
