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.

Advice/Tips
Very large drop in appetite when switched from XR to SR. Also difficulty sleeping about 5 nights after switch. Does seem to increase energy somewhat, but does not eliminate fatigue. Currently taking 300 mg to suppress desire to smoke. Has worked very well for that.
