i've taken 400mg three times a day for years and do fine on it. i did up it once to 400 four time a day and i was spacey so i went back down. that seems to be good for me. so watch yourself and judge what is right for you.
sorry about the strep. i know so many sick people this summer ... pneumonia and everything ... these are winter problems! what is up? too much ac i bet! we are all inside just like winter! hope you get better soon. joan
