I'm on 900mg before bed and 300 mg each as needed during the day. Sometimes it's just the AM, sometimes before each meal depending how bad my TN gets. My Rhuemy told me that if I hit over the 2100mg total mark - we're gonna search for something else. Almost there, but so far it's the only thing that touches my pain.
