i think so ww i don't think there is to much point in it. maybe for milder spasticity it might help. i think i got it more so for my mood not sure.

Yeah I thought it was a very heavy drug for me, actually made me quite low in mood, probably because it made me so tired and lacking in motivation. Hope you find a better alternative if you decide to go that route. It's so frustrating

to take something, only to find it has caused more problems than it set out to solve.

What is your dosage?

robbie · Post by **robbie** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 6:28 am

1mg a day

My dosage is 0.5 mg. I don't experience all the side effects that you seem to. Maybe it would help to cut it in half and see how you do with that? It is really helpful to me ( at the 0.5 mg dosage). Maybe it would be for you?
