Advice & Tips
if you ever come off of this, go vvvveeeerrrryyyyy slowly. per advice of my md i cut doseage (400mg) in half one week, and eliminated it the next. i was massively confused, cloudy, didn't care if i lived or died, didn't show up for work, taking trazadone every 4 or 5 hours. it was really bad.
