dosing
by Scarlet (no login) First I'd like to thank you Pat for adding the extras!
As far as dosing goes the normal starting point is 2.25grams taken 2times nightly, then it is slowing titrated up in weekly increments until optimal benefits are acheived with the maximum dose being 4.5grams X 2 a night. The reason it is taken 2 times is because it does not stay in the body very long. The maximum amount of sleep generally is 4 hours per dose, however that again depends on the person taking it.
There are some nights I personally only get 3hrs on my first dose and some nights i get 4-5 hrs.
