Zellie:
I think your advice of stashing extra capsules around is sound.
For me, I generally take my 75mg XR capsule at the same time each week day, perhaps two hour later on weekends with no problem. I have also found that I can go back and forth between 75's and 150's without much problem...
I also agree that given the marketing efforts of the big drug companies (I'm not condeming them for that, that's how they survive), many doctors are prescribing these meds with very little idea of what they really do or what the side effects can be.
I am glad now that after deciding to go back to my psychiatric group for care, my psychiatrist had moved on to private practice. The nurse practicioner I'm seeing in his place is an expert in psychiatric pharmachology, what the meds do and also their attendant side effects.
You take care,
Tony
