Dosage: 1200 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: I had lost 40 lbs within a year and had had no dosage change on this rx, so asked the Dr about it. He has had me to gradually decrease my dosage from 600mg in the am to 400 in am, and 900mg in pm to 500 mg in pm. If you do this, do it 100mg at a time. I tried to do it all at once, and my nervous system reaction wasn't pleasant at all. On the upside, I've lost another 8 lbs!!!
Side effects: weight gain, constipation
