Steve,

I would hope everyone here knows that we are not doctors or pharmacists. Most of us give our advice by stating the obvious, "get a sleep test" or "ask your doctor about this". I know that I never take information from here as gospel and if I have questions I ask my doc. I would hope everyone here knows better than to increase a dose without talking to their doc. And they obviously can't get new drugs without seeing the doc. As far as other methods of dealing, I don't think I have seen anything illegal here, so don't worry. I am not trying to start a war or be a smart aleck, just remember we are all frustrated people asking for support! Happy Waking!

Dawn
