Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Tina: That is very interesting about the 8 hours. I have not been following that kind of a schedule. In fact, my schedule is VERY irregular, and that might be causing the problem. I take 300mg, twice a day. I had been taking it with my breakfast (around 11:00 am- -it's a long story) and at night before bed. I started with one dose, and it made me so giddy and energetic that I was really suspicious, and stopped for a while. The doctor told me to take it easy, and stay on the low dose until the symptoms subsided, which I did. Then I went to two a day. Then I noticed that I was having problem sleeping at night. Now, it may have had something to do with the fact that my husband is going through bladder cancer treatment (removal, and chemo), but I wanted to see if I could change the schedule, so I've been trying to take the first tab earlier, and the second tab earlier. It might have made a small difference in the sleep problem, but the cough is still bothering me. Now, after reading your letter, I will try very hard to follow the 8 hour schedule. I'm supposed to up the dosage again after I get over the side-effects, which isn't happening yet, but they're getting better. Thanks so much for your information. We'll keep in touch, and see if this is going to make a difference for me. You sound as if you've gotten some important relief!
