Ann...please don't give your husband ANYTHING that hasn't been prescribed for him, especially after two surgeries. I would suggest that you get his neurologist involved in his care as soon as possible. While he is recovering from surgeries, his medication needs may be altered and his neurologist is the person who can do that (and know what (s)he is doing).
