I am on the same goes as Jim, but I also take 7.5 mg of Valium a day. When I initially went over to dantrolene it seemed to knock me out if it took more than 25 mg a day. I had to work my way up to three times a day, but so far I have had pretty good luck with it. I am a little leery about the possible liver damage, but so far my doctors don't seem to be worried and all of my tests have come back positive.
I used to be on over 20 mg of Valium a day and gradually worked my way down to the level I am currently at. It took a while to wean down to the current level of Valium, but it also required more daily range of motion. Quadius On 7/5/07, William Willis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I started taking it last Tuesday. It knocks me out. I don't know whether I can handle it or not.
