I had that same response the first time I took it.
First of all, the dosage in the studies was around 250-400 micrograms. A
doc told my friend to take 300 micrograms. The usual pills are 3
milligrams or 10 times that. I was told you can find smaller dosage pills,
but it takes looking. I found a 1.5 mill pill from life plus, with amino
acids, and have been cutting them in quarters.
I have now been sleeping through the nite, but getting up much earlier than
usual. (6 am instead of 9) and most of the time I feel great. I don't know
what the dosage has to do with anything else. I have only been on it for
10 days.
Good luck.
