After reading these articles, I don't think the risk is worth the reward. Personally, I'm going to stay away from all ergot derivatives. Letro looks to be a safer option for those in need.

Nobody is going to be able to answer that here but I think the safe and smart thing is to get the hell off it!

SC, look up typical dosages on web md or somewhere else on the web. Obviously the Dr. will prescribe what they feel is a suitable amount for the particular patient, but at least you will have a range of dosages that they prescribe.
