Brian, That is the way I normally take it now(as my body tells me a dose is needed). Although, the first 9 month of course, I took the doses the neuro told me to, every/every day. That is when I was having dyskinesia & dystonia so bad and wanted to give up. I think, maybe I just overdose myself on some days, and I need to regulate it better, or something. Many days I just shake or do a lot of stretching to keep from being stiff. I can do this with family and close friends. But, I have a job (director of a small non-profit) which is very public, and I need ( so some think--I guess including me) to be at my best(whatever that is??) when out there making speeches or taping interviews (yes, I get to be on local TV--ha ha and radio). don't forget how to laugh Marling
