Depends how she built up to it. Permax can be pretty rough on you. >The one good thing about this disease is that (at least in an early stage) >experimenting with drugs seems possible without causing great harm in any >way (I suppose even this is not the case in all instances). But you DO want to be VERY cautious in the rate of increase or decrease of most of our drugs - especially Permax. Some of them may cause dependency, and too-quick increase is like overdosing, while too-quick reduction can cause cold turkey withdrawal effects!
