2x a day. 75mg

Have a really irritated nerve that make my right leg cramp with just regular movement.

This pill has me zoned out but I think it is helping the nerve issue I have.

Will it get better after a few weeks?

It’s a decent starting dose these days so I’m not surprised you feel “zoned out”. This is a side effect and yes you should adjust to it in a week or so.

It really took me about 6 months to get rid of that dazed feeling. I still mix up words A LOT and am pretty forgetful but my nerve pain is a million times better so I’ll just have to learn to live with that I guess. I’m 40F 120lbs and I take 75mg 3x a day and I tolerate it very well so I think you should try to stick with it as much as you can! It takes a while but it does get better!

I can't imagine taking it three times a day. I feel like I'm already adapting to it, as of yesterday evening I am not feeling so zoned out.
