I take 10mgs once a day. It is quite sedating but that gets better over time. I take it in the evening so I sleep through the initial sedation. Good for vivid dreaming.
I miss the benzos but this is a decent alternative. Besides, I got hooked on ativan and librium and it took months to finally get off them.
I find inderal much preferable to neurotin which seemed to calm yet made me edgy at the same time - like I was going in two directions at once. Inderal is more straight-forward, no-nonsense, relaxing without knocking me out.
Hope the weight gain is just water retention as my body adjusts to the new med.
