This works well for me. The doc first had me on two a day, twelve hours apart. The morning dose consistently wore off after about nine hours. Now I'm on three-a-day and much happier.

I'm also pretty sure that being consistent is important. By this I mean, maintaining the blood/brain levels within a stable range, 24x7.
