Yes, it definitely helped me. The dosage your doctor wants for you is not high. Years ago I was started at three 600 mg a day and it helped tremendously with my serious problems.. I have since slowly reduced it over a number of years to 300 a day and will perhaps be able to stop it entirely. But I’m in no hurry. You must remember that drugs act differently on every person. There is no way to tell until you have followed your physicians recommendation and see how your body reacts. You may be asked to up or lower your dosage. You simply cannot predict what will be the result ahead of time. Just follow your physicians recommendations and then act accordingly. Good luck.
