Answers:
No, your doctor wouldn't have prescribed it to you at this dose with out telling your the possible side effects, I am pretty sure your not the only one who has been on a dose this high.Health Question & Answer
well, presumably your doctor knows the answer to this...drug handbooks and the PDR all recommend against such a high dose, kidney and liver damage, not to mention psychological dependance, are a very real risk with this drug. Personally, I wouldn't do it, regardless of what a doctor might tell me, it isn't his body he's putting this stuff into, is it.?
