Sorry for butting in but doesn't SR stand for sustained release? If so,

I don't think you are meant to take it at different times throughout the

day. I believe it is meant to be taken once, in the morning, and will

release slowly over the course of the day. Please correct me someone if

I'm wrong.

Oh I see. I'd be curious to hear what the doc says as well. Good luck.

The SR does stand for sustained release, but my doctor told me take it 4 times

a day. I actually have phoned her and waiting for her explanation.
