Yes the neuro was kinda shocked because he had never seen this before, notably only 600mg a day has the positive effect on me. I heard that some people had to go all the way up to 3600 without a decent effect, but maybe that level does bring the side effect of being suicidal, who knows...I have no side effects what so ever at 600mg/day, but echo that I have to watch my appetite. Apart from that I have found no other tendencies other than slowly picking up my life again after so long. Over the last months I have been able to slowly decrease and stop some of the other medications. The sandomigran is gone, and the verapamil is only 50% (720 to 360), where I have a feeling I could stop this too eventually. I do realise two things: I am lucky and tomorrow everything can be different, so cherishes each day!
