I've heard of some people (mrsD, IIRC) getting a bit agitated when taking more than 100mg/day; I have not experienced that myself. I
wish it would help me lose weight!
I started on 100 mg/day of regular RLA. I tried 200 mg, but didn't notice any better effect, so I dropped back down to 100 mg. I bought a lot of the stuff on sale (cheap) and was trying to use it up before starting the stabilized type. Then I thought to take the stabilized in the morning, and the regular in the evenings (killing 2 birds, so to speak, but using the less powerful type in the evening in case it
did cause agitation). That's where I am now (using up the last bottle of regular). I still have not noticed any agitation (or difference for that matter).

I read the info on the Pantothenic Acid (B5). Is this the brand you are using? Also, what is the dose you are taking?

What brand? I'm taking Puritan right now,
only because it was the best deal at the time we ordered. I'm taking 500 mg twice a day, which is probably higher than necessary for most folks, but it's doing triple duty for me, and one of those requires a higher dose. My plan is to decrease the dosage once I have met certain goals.
