Dec 20th thru yesterday, I was taking 400mg/day, at least 6 hours between doses.
I've just been feeling really bad all day... not noticed any significant difference in times of day.
As of today, I'm back on the real stuff, again at 400mg/day, 6 hours between doses (usually 9am. and 3:30pm -- on the advice of my doc, I take the 2nd dose at that time because any later and it interferes with my sleep).

Since this only happens when he writes prescriptions I've decided it doesn't matter so long as I watch what he writes carefully. He ends up crossing out a lot of prescriptions but I always do leave with the right one these days. Let's hear it for computerized prescribing!
