    A little hard to take
Dosage: 30 mg All the time (24/7)
Advice & Tips: The doctor prescribed way too much for me initially. I was to take 60 mg every four hours, well by the second dose I had 120 mg and I was rigid, weak, could not form words with my mouth and tongue, I sounded like I inhaled helium, my face muscles were not working together....I hyperventilated and my anxiety shot through the roof !A trip to the ER, with several IV's and a re-evaluation over the phone with the doc. I now take 1/2-1 30mg tablet as needed. I am monitoring symptoms...no vision improvement but it does help with speaking, choking and neck pain.
Cost: $50-99 monthly
Side effects: excess mucus
