Regarding Retigabine/Trobalt dosage...
Man, we have SO been over all this a zillion times...and in circles about it too. O.K. I exaggerate, but to me, and to many of us who have been in on this since the beginning, it comes down to these salient points:
1. ANY dose is the sole responsibility and decision of the user/trialee.
2. ANY user/trialee should do as much due diligence as possible to understand what they are getting into before starting.
3. It is 100% clear from our TT trialees (forget the "other recommendations" really, as they were not for "tinnitus"), that every individual seems to experience Trobalt dosage differently. Some get smashed at 100 mg, others can take 1,200 mg in one dose and be humming along just fine. Now try and pick your "correct dose" from that!!!
4. The usual, safe, look-and-see approach to any med/drug with "doubts" (and not zillions of people having tried it for decades, etc., etc, to get a nice bell curve experience base)...is to taper up slowly.
5. Given all the above, we here, who have studied Trobalt, its pharmacodynamics, side effects, and every nuance we can get hold of (which does not mean that it is by any means a 'complete' understanding at all!)...have come to the conclusion that dose is indeed king. That higher doses are indeed more likely to have an effect on tinnitus, than lower doses. This from both the scientific literature and our testers to date.
Given the above...it's a "pick your own poison" or "saviour" choice as to how you start, taper up, don't taper up, one-off smash dose it, mix it with Keppra, etc., etc...It's YOUR decision, as about every approach seems to have potential merit or dangers.
Good luck to all who try this drug, as it really is an "experiment" here and each and every new user adds to our combined knowledge base...especially if they report their results accurately in the User Reports, etc.
Thanks much, Zimichael
