He said one patient in the whole trial had a seizure from taking it this way...it was later reported that this patient had unreported epilepsy. He felt there was no danger in taking doses closer together.

Anyway , I tried it for two rounds...I got severe stomach pain & had to discontinue it despite my neuro's pleading to continue.
It did improve my gait, but wasn't worth the pain IMO.
