And how long had you been on that dosage? I have been at .5 mg 4xday (which I believe is a very low dosage) for about 18 months now but am just beginning to experience a return to the nausea I felt when I was titrating up. I don't know whether to blame the Permax or something else (but there is nothing new in my drug regimen.) Nancy Shlaes deGrazie (62/6)
