gdog, why such a high dose of WB? What is your DX?
I could not tolerate 450 mg per day.That is the "magic threshold" where seizure really CAN become a risk. I think the main reason WB is contraindicated in bulimia has to do with "small bodies" caused by A/N and bulimia. I guess, perhaps, this increases the amount of med in your bloodstream.As to your seizure risk, I would think you would have had one by now if you WERE going to have one. I would base this upon the logic that after a few weeks, the WB would have reached a steady blood serum level in your body. HOWEVER...if you have been taking certain meds, like benzos, or have been a heavy drinker, abrupt discontinuance of them COULD cause a seizure where it "normally" would not. I still think 450 mg is a high dose of WB.
