I've had meds that really tiny adjustments affect me. I'm stuck on a wimpy 25 mg of topomax. I think the goal dose was 100 mg (I started it for migraines but since I couldn't reach the dose to help them but did sleep better on it it was transferred to psych). If I go up I start feeling like I'm going to get akathesia. If I go down I don't sleep through the night. So I keep taking this ridiculous dose because I can't seem to make the world's tiniest dose change. My goal is to be off it by the end of the year even if I have to cut into 1/4ths.
Our bodies are pretty strange with what they get used to from these meds and what they demand of them.
