Date: Nov 06, 2009
Advice & Tips: 150 mg. is usually too much for me. 100 mg. was too little. I read that treatments for overdosing include ventilation (so I get out in fresh air), activated charcoal ( I always have some on hand), and meds like the clonazepam that I take (so I increase my daily dose). If I don't address the overdose, a migraine results.
Cost: < $25 monthly
