I am trying to wean off Primidone and find I feel very ''fuzzy' in the head. Is this normal?
How long should it take to wean off the medication as I want to do it properly? I was taking 125mg twice a day, am now down to once a day after 12 days. Is this too quick?
Takiing primidone and drinking alcohol?
