My dosage was 150mg once a day. And yes I still have the pills because after the 14 days I’m expected to go back on it.

Yes, I was taking 150 mg a day also, for 33 years. ONLY I had not found this site yet. And me a retired RN too.
I had no idea the bad dreams were from getting off the medication.
The morning I had the stroke, my dream was about my brother dying. It was interrupted by persistent kknocking on the door. I finally aroused myself enough to get up but I was paralyzed on the left side.
I dragged my foot to the door. Couldn't use my left leg except tto drag it. I was dragging my foot so hard, it pulled the sole off My winter boot!
My arm and hand were paralyzed also. Oh, did I mention the drooling......
This is a DANGEROUS DDRUG TO GET OFF OF. CALL YOUR DOC...
Merry, you are still here. Wonderful. Any idea why all of a sudden I started getting the daily digest in my email after all these months, at least 6 months since my last one. Anyway, I am glad to be back....smiling at you all. Bright Wings
