Advice & Tips: If you are taking the generic extended release make sure it is not dose dumping - releasing too much medicine at once causing side effects. My MS doctor, PCP, and I thought I was in menopause with all the hot flashes and fevers of 99.6! Even kept going in to see if I had a UTI bc of the fevers! What a waste of my time and money!!!
