> so the difference is that if you take the immediate release, you will need to take it more often. that is why you will read that you can take it after 4 hours. that is not the case with the sustained release. i do believe that it is true that 300mg immediate release is the same as 300mg sustained release. you might take 150mg 2x/dy s.r. for a total of 300mg/day -or- you might take 75mg4x/day i.r. for a total of 300mg/day.
>i thought that i would have to take it spread apart....but the stupid pharm girl had no clue....the hospital where he filled the script doesn't carry the sr on it formulary....great, huh?
i'm going to call another pharm person....i've got a few more days of the sr and one more script on that bottle....but the lure of free meds is really appealing.....but i don't want to freak out again. if only i could figure out how to use it!
thanks.

. but that is something i chose to do because the s.r. was not working for me and i needed to change to avoid some bothersome side-effects. >
