Question : Need help. I wanted to ask about night time meds. I took last night 900mgs of neuron tin and 10mgs of ambient. It seemed to work fine. Does this sound like a good plan?

Hi Dr! I forgot to ask and maybe you answered me and I forgot...How many ativan can I take every six hours? I believe you said no more than 10 mgs per day. But I could do 4 mgs per day??
