TK--- single doses of chelators are going to cause redistribution side

effects, it needs to be taken in rounds every 4hr to minimize this.

Unless you got the side effects right away after taking it in which

case you ned to reduce dosage.

I scared myself good with 25 mg doses of DMSA and DMPS. At 12.5 mg I

didn't get anything - not even a buzz.

Reduce the dose to 12.5 mg and be prepared to continue every 3-4 h for

a full round. If you get significant side effects at 12.5 mg, then

STOP and next time reduce the dose to 5 mg.

See TKs general recommendations in the files section.
