For 3 days he took one capsule at night. The next three days he took one at noon and one at night. Today, he is supposed add one in the morning, gradually building up to 2 capsules 3 times a day. Last night, he experienced vision changes that scared him, like looking through a piece of waxed paper. It cleared up within minutes. Plus dry mouth and he slept a lot yesterday, much more than usual. We're going over to talk to the pharmacist to get her take on this.
Anybody experience these symptoms and did they resolve? Or is this a sign of toxicity? Your input is appreciated.
Thanks. Anita
