I was on 300 mg for quite some time with apparently no problems. 12 days ago, I got the same shaped pills in a different color but I didn't even think that a different doc would change my pill dose.
So 12 days ago I went from 300mg per day to 450 mg. It's been all downhill since. Severe daytime sleepiness, feel brain dead at times, dry mouth, extreme tiredness, a little blurred vision, and constipation. Can I just drop back to 300mg/day, or should I see about doing something now? Take nothing for a day or 2 then back to 300 mg?
I lost my pdoc with an insurance change lately and now don't have any real doctor. Got prescription from a PA or NP which is really more of a urgent care.

If no insurance here they have a facility that is based on ability to pay it's an Urgent type clinic for psychiatric patients. So you see a pdoc. Do you have one in your area? Phillipa

Poison control handles drug overdoses and I got to the less urgent line. Then I struck gold -- I got a pharmacist!
Said take 75 mg tonight which makes 300mg for today,.
then resume normal 300 mg/day tomorrow.
Damn, I saw same shape pill so I just started splitting like before, Didn't even think about color change.
