i dont understand why your doc said to take them 4 times a day...? never heard of that before, usually its all at once or a split dose at most...? 8 mgs really isnt a high dose for the first week unless your tolerance was real low before you started it?...was it? i think 4 times a day is too often...one dose can hold you for 24 hours? i would try the spl...
