I probably could count on one hand the number of times I decided to take it since it was prescribed 11/02. Maybe five or six times tops. The longest I took it was a bit over a week. The last two times were just one dose. It looks like I've taken a total of 17 tablets.My dose was .25 mg taken in the morning, because for me it was mildly activating.
It takes rather precisely four hours to work for me. I had usually taken Klonopin before I took the first dose, but Klonopin had nowhere near the calming effect.
It also made me lose my appetite and if anything helped my ability to work, because of it being mildly activating.
I'm sure the effects wouldn't have been the same if I took it continuously. And this is just the way it affected me, I'm sure it's different for everyone. And I did mention the side effects?
