Advice & Tips
If you really want to sleep through the night in a major way, this is for you. I dropped it a few years back because I felt I was taxing my liver with too many pharmaceuticals and my migraine problem had gone away, hopefully never to return. I have no idea what this stuff costs as I'm a 100% disabled service-connected vet so the VA (American tax-payers) provide all my meds, even those not intended for MS symptom control.

Advice & Tips
When I first took this, it made me so fatigued I couldn't lift my head off the pillow until noon. I wanted to quit, but could not risk the burning pain returning. The fatigue from the meds disappeared completely by week #2.
