Jackie is finally on ALA!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Well, it finally happened, I'm on a round of ALA! I got through a

real busy stretch, and now I had a few days where I didn't have to

go anywhere, so decided yesterday I really need to try it again. I

had some 6mg capsules already made up, that I tried last time, and

it knocked me on my butt, and I couldn't stay awake.

Anyway, yesterday at 2pm, I took 6mg of ALA by itself, and it wasn't

too bad. I took a second dose at 4pm, but then at 6pm, I decided to

add in DMPS to see if it felt better, and it did. So I have

continued with the DMPS also, 20mg, every 4 hours.

I seem to be a fast metabolizer, and have always done better on more

frequent dosing. I had been doing DMPS only at 5-6 hour intervals,

but after some recent discussions of people doing it even more

often, I tried my last round of DMPS at every 4 hours, and it went

really well. The last time I tried ALA, I did every 3 hours, and

that didn't go well, so I knew I wanted to try more frequent this

time. So, 2 hours for ALA and 4 hours for DMPS seems to be working

for me. But the every 2 hours at night isn't fun, and I can't

imagine doing this for more than a few days at a time.

Anyway, wish me luck that it continues to go well! And maybe now I

can finally join you ALA-ers!!!

Jackie
