I can't imagine any set of circumstances where one could take WB SR that often (my understanding is at least 8 hours apart, though I think there are people who do not follow that, but it is the general rule). What dosage were you taking and what are you taking now? What time frame have you been on it an how long did it take you to reach your current dosage? (forgive me if you have said this in another post--I try to keep up, but sometimes I miss things). I am currently at 250 mg SR (150 and 100 12 hours apart) and moving up to 300 mg SR. Thanks again for the info.

Sorry to keep asking so many questions, but my curiosity just keeps going. How long did it take you to get to 450 mg WB SR? How long altogether have you been on it at any dose? What happens between 3PM and the next AM (i.e you are taking it at short intervals and then all of sudden you don't take anymore for 12-18 hours)? Obviously this works for you, so I am not questioning the dosage or administration of it, I am just amazed
at the disproportionate time intervals. Just another example of how we are all unique with regard to our responses!
Thanks again.
