that was my starter dose, then 50mg 2x day then 75mg 2x day, etc.
The memory problem didn't arise until I hit about 275-300mgs/day. I was in a Shakespearian community theatre production and could not memorize the lines. I got fired from the show 2 weeks before opening .
When I titrated down to get off the drug, it was like coming out of a fog- a dense one. A great weight had been lifted from my psyche. (and I could remember to bring home the dog food )
