Apr 23, 2009 (Started Aug 31, 2007)

  • Effectiveness
    Slight (for fatigue)
  • Side effects
    None (for Overall)
  • Adherence
    Usually
  • Burden
    Not at all hard to take
Dosage: 200 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: I find that only taking 100mg in the morning and then again in the afternoon is not at this time helping that much with my fatigue. When I first started taking it, it did help. However as my fatigue has worsened I would be more likely to do better with 200mg at a time. But I am trying to keep my dosages low, so I have not requested that the dosage be increased.
