How many capsules are you supposed to take daily? ## Dolo-Neurobion Retard contains Diclofenac and Vitamins B1, B12 and B6. The normal dosage is one capsule daily. How many has your doctor suggest you use? ## My boyfriend first gave me the Dolo-Neurobion Retard for my arthritis pain. He is Mexican and a friend brought him some. It has made a big difference in my pain level with no side effects. Taking one a day. Just wish it was easier to get.

I was prescribed Prednisone (60MG) 3x daily for 7 days and was supposed to take one every 8 hours 3x daily. But instead I took one every 4-5 hours unknowingly for 5 days...straight I stopped taking them after the 5th day. Because I got panic attacks and migraines. I've been off Prednisone for 5 days now and have been feeling the worst anxiety of my life...I cannot control it or calm myself down and I've been having physical weakness and extreme fatigue and stress.
