>I discovered that it did go away in a couple weeks, but noticed it would crop up again (delayed by a day or so) whenever I would miss a dose or be going up or down in dosage. I returned to normal once I maintained a dose for a while, so I would give it another week or two at 150 2x day and just make sure to be very regular about when you take your doses.
That's a really good point. When I was still using the sustained release, I found that after 5 hours I was getting really crabby and had to wait until I could take the next dose. It was ugly. On the sustained release I would take a dose and feel it punch in within a couple hours and then it would just fall off after that (it didn't maintain a stable level for me) That's when I switched over to the immediate release. Now I've got it down because it's like clockwork that if I get to the 5 hour mark and haven't taken my next dose I am tired, irritable, crabby, and feeling like I'm not coping. I take my dose and all of that is erased. Every time. I stay steady as long as I don't go longer than 5 hours between dosages during the day (i don't dose at night but you probably figured that out.) all that is to say, watch the intervals between doses. -terra
