Advice & Tips
Dosages may have to increase over the years. I started with 100mg sometime in the last few years, then to 200mg, and most recently to be the 200mg and 1 more if I need it. Many people can't handle 100mg. Some claim to feel "hung over" or "out-of-it" in the a.m.

Advice & Tips
Within 30 minutes of taking it, my nose was so stuffy that I had to breathe through my mouth, making it difficult to fall asleep. Then I used nasal spray to stop that, and within another 20 minutes, my feet were tingling. It felt like RSL in my feet. It was so bothersome, that I couldn't fall asleep for several hours. My feet still tingled the next day and I woke up feeling extremely groggy. I called the doctor and was advised to stop taking it. I'm going back to cyclobenzaprine and going to bed earlier.
