Like you, they only last 3 or 4 hours, so time the dosage to suit your lifestyle. I take the last one around 6 pm. Improvement started for me the same as you described. But hang on in...it does get better once your dosage is sorted to your needs. i read on this forum about caffine being a help and it is... so dark chocolate and coffee. Keep smiling.
Thanks! I got an increase today to 60mg/ 3x per day. I'm hoping my neurologist knows the "suit your lifestyle" thing and isn't a stickler for 3x/day. I haven't had the chance to talk with her yet (just talking to her nurse). Very pleased with how well this works so far!
