They suggest the following dosage schedule: Week 1 0.375 mg total daily dose Week 2 0.75 mg Week 3 1.5 mg Week 4 2.25 mg Week 5 3 mg Week 6 3.75 mg Week 7 4.5 mg total daily dose I think it is important, notwithstanding the above, that you consult with your neurologist regarding dosage. I am in my 10th or 11th week and have stabilized my daily dosage at 3.5 mg. -------------------- Sid Roberts 67/dx3 [log in to unmask] Youngstown, Ohio
