Thanks for your reply Jim. Interesting that my brother's name is Jim and I used to call him Jimmy Boy when we were younger.
I am at 750mg time released. I was at that dose for a couple months. Went down to 600 and then went backup a couple weeks ago. At first the doc thought 750 was too much. This waiting is hard.
