Advice & Tips: I only take it when necessary now. Before last relapse, i took it once in morning with my other meds. I have heard that its very addicting, so be careful! When I was hospitalized due to relapse, the doc at hospital kept pumping me with IV form and i became addicted. I was a zombie, wanted to sleep all the time, very confused and out of it. went to oral when i got home and slowly weaned off to where i only use it as needed.
