Hi Mari

Sorry you are still struggling.

how soon do you see mdoc? do you think you call her about this - perhaps she could just call in the script? or even just go there as a walk in if dealing by phone is difficult.

i hope you can get the 100's soon!

meantime maybe you can just open a 300 and discard a small amount? if you choose to do this again, i would not recommend you just pour out the powder directly as you previously indicated. doing so will give you a rather arbitrary dose each time.

this is how i used to split mine: i did not pour the amount directly out of the capsule -
open them with the long part down, and then carefully decant an little of the powder back into the top of the capsule. tap the two halves together to make the powder settle. compare the levels of the two using backlighing, like a bright window. decant back and forth if necessary, tapping the capsule halves in between, to get the amount you want.

to get about 200 mg, you need about 2/3 of a capsule, so:

when the level in the top of the cap is half the level in the bottom of the cap, that's about 200mg.

it would be just a smidgeon more than 200 because the capsules are rounded at the bottom but that is of little consequence. the point is if you use this method you should get closer to the same amount each time, because you have a way to visually measure what you toss against what you keep, rather than pouring an arbitrary fraction out of the capsule each time.

.... i don't blame you if you don't want to mess with it and keep taking 300's. it just sounds like it might be too much for you.
