>Hi Nick!!
I have to grin as I read this post. When I started taking T, i really *did* read the directions I was given. The neurologist handed me two pages of closely-spaced typescript with a schedule for the first six months or so which would take me up to the complete dosage he had prescribed...
if I had absorbed what I read (and to my embarrassment I had read it twice) I would have realised that there was a protocol carefully spelled out and I was supposed to follow it;
that protocol probably existed for a reason and I would have been wise to follow it.
I was careful about the dosage and the time period between increasing the amount I was taking but I missed that crucial element of time of day and I was so sick...
it wasn't bad enough that I had to take two medications to prevent the nausea and vertigo that the tegritol caused???Simply following the destructions would have made life so simple....
sigh
Cheers!!!
