Doctor in America who did the EMG test said it was mild and idiopathic. But I’ll tell you what, if this is mild, I’d hate to feel what moderate to severe feels like!

I take the same thing 600mg 2x a day. I don’t seem to have any side-effects.

How severe is yours?

“...to have any side-effects.

How severe is yours?”

“Side-effects” are dizziness and sleepiness. (These, somewhat worse at 3x300mg).

When I asked my (now retired) doctor to increase my dose, he (or Walgreens) simply DOUBLED my dosage, which I totally couldn’t handle.

Two years later, my newest doctor has me, as above, at a REDUCED 2x300mg—which is nearly undetectable.

I don’t know why Walgreens couldn’t give me the 3x600mg previously prescribed, but glad they stopped short.

As for getting away from prescriptions over-time, my Cardiologist handed me a handwritten calendar to get off the prescription in about six weeks.
Metoprolol? Clopidogrel?

I need some Adderol.

At my Neurologist’s, I recounted two problems in addition to my PN and RLS.

That was the morning “purring” in my torso and the “essential tremor” at my lower jaw.

The torso discomfort would wake me up in the wee hours, but the Neurologist said those were “idiopathic”, and don’t come back...!
