[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 383845, member: 7083"] That is exactly what I told the doctor, but they get all squirrely. They physiatrist wanted me to see a neuro just for confirmation, but he wanted to continue to treat me - which I was ok with because I really like him and I'm not a big fan of neuros (haven't met one that listens). But, as soon as the *possible* heart issue came into play that changed. The doctors always get all freaked out about the heart, but I'm the one living this thing and..you get the idea. I'm tired of dealing with the heart. I'm wearing the heart monitor now - get to take it off at 1:45 today, which can't come soon enough cause I react to the adhesive and I want to scratch my skin off. But, hopefully this will clear things up for them and they'll get themselves out of the tizzy. I'm no longer on the half of the starting dose, however I'm only taking it every 8 hours and it's wearing off in about 4 hours. According to rxlist.com, starting dose is 60mg every 4 hours and I'm doing 60mg every 8 hours. And I'm not noticing near as much improvement on the 60mg as I was initially - still better than without, but not as dramatic as initially. [/QUOTE]
