Was on low dose 100mg 3 times a day 2 months had tapered to twice a day last month. Didn’t like side effects of this med. Had last one yesterday morning and won’t have any more, quitting. Got the flu so I’m already feeling crappy anyway. Doable? Thanks for feedback..

I was on the same dose for cluster headaches and didn’t like side effects and all the stuff I had read about this drug especially how doc had advised to increase over three weeks to 200mg x 3 a day then 300 mg x 3 a day so I have done exactly what you did and again had the flu got to admit I felt a bit rubbish for a couple of weeks but came out of the other side feeling back to what anyone would call normal
Hope you have the same journey
Best of luck

Oh crap, not sure I can do the cold turkey thing even at that low dose?! Called my doc, was getting twitchy, feeling withdrawal symptoms. She recommends taking 100mg nighttime for one week then stop. Have follow up appointment next week with neurologist who prescribed the med for my mild peripheral neuropathy. Dang.. I’ll take the tingly toes over this drug and he’ll get an earful about it lol 😂
