I was on 3600 mg a day. I decreased one 300 mg capsule a week. Mostly from the a.m. dosing first. So I wasn't so dopey during the day. It took over 6months to do this. I worked out a schedule and stuck to it. I was so happy when I didn't need the last nightly dosage.

It wasn't helping for purposes intended anymore. I took it for 6 years. I started at 100 mg at night, then 200 mgs a night. Then I started the day dosages per my MS doctor.

I had containers of 100 mg capsules, and 300 mgs tablets, I think. Maybe some 600 mgs too. So I could vary them. He gave them out by the bucketful, in script to me.

I tried to stay at 1800 mgs unless I relapsed, and then I upped it slowly as needed. Then I tried to wean off completely. I did it. No withdrawal feelings. I did this between my old doctor and my new MS doctor.

I never told the old one I was doing this. My new MS doctor said good, I am glad you went off it. That surprised me.
