Hi, Jay. I was told to take 1 per day, and that dosage timing didn't matter. I've been taking it at bedtime, which is what I usually do unless I notice insomnia from a med.

I never tried twice per day dosage. The half-life is 29 hours, so that suggests to me that it's not important to dose multiple times per day like you might need to do with a shorter-acting med.

I'm on 150mg now, but pdoc had me titrate up 25mg every 2 weeks to help avoid the risk of the rash.
