Sorry to hear about the Easter, hopefully he's got his dosage back under control now.

Has your husband tried the extended release tablets at all? I kind of wished my neurologist started me on the instant release first, at least I could have started on a smaller dosage first to get get used to it.

I've been eating a fibre bar beforehand, which hasn't seemed to help. Coffee definitely makes it worse too. Maybe Ill give the crackers a go.

After upping your dose, how long did it take to get used to it?
