Don: The "scary" effects of phenobarb are what made me hesitate to get on it, especially because I was expecting a prescription for Rifampin or Cholestyramine ON TOP OF the Urso. I also discussed this with my family doctor (a bright guy). He explained that my prescribed dose of phenobarb (90mg/day, 60mg/day the first week) is rather low for a 220-lb guy like me. So that alleviated my fears a little.I have not experienced any of the negative side effects, and I even still remember making the YouTube videos :-) But the phenobarb HAS helped my itching to disappear again.Wim/>> I'm sure is right.
