Driving is not an activity I would do, until I knew how the meds work for you. Slows reaction time! For me still groggy the next day.

I've been taking 1mg 4x's a day for 4-5 yrs now. It definitely helps me. One major thought u should think about BEFORE starting it- Its addictive! And DO NOT ever stop taking it without your Dr knowing. The withdrawals are horrible. I'm telling u this from my heart and from experience. 💞

I agree with Vinnie. Ask your pharmacist. You also need to know how it's going to interact with other medications if you are taking any.
I myself have taken it and it did nothing to me. It was like taking a placebo. But don't take it if you don't feel safe.

Did you talk to the Dr that ordered it for you. I prefer not to give advice about medication, since I am not your Dr. if you are worried, you can also call the Pharmacy and speak to the Pharmacist with your questions. You can then make a decision. Information is a must.
