The more frequent dosing seems to work better for me as I had virtually no symptoms. ---------Good to hear, and it just takes some experimenting in the beginning to find out what works best for you, because we are all different.---------Jackie I am tempted to increase to 12.5 on round 3, but think it might be better to stick with 6.25 mg for awhile more as I am hypersensitive and have MCS. It just seems like such a small amount! Is it really doing anything!?! -----------As TK suggested, sticking with the same dose for a few rounds is best. DeanSA said his rule was 3 rounds with no side effects before he would increase the dosage. If you want to try a smaller increase, then you could divide the cap in three, getting about 8mg per dose. As and I have said, you want to find the right dose for *you*, not too much, not too little, so side effects are tolerable so that you can chelate on a regular basis. So don't worry about the amount compared to others, just do what works for you.------------Jackie After spilling DMSA all over me, the outside of my empty capsules, and other places too, I'm wondering if you can suggest a more systematic or scientific way to fill capsules? I seriously doubt I got the same amount in each of the 4 caps (using 25 mg cap as the parent)! I just eyeballed it and did the best I could. -----------That's what most of us do, just eyeball it as close as we can. But here is a post by Ed explaining how he uses a capsule filling machine and how he gets the right amount in each one.----------Jackie http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/adult-metal-chelation/message/33832 Thanks.
