I did take 1/2 a pill today at 1:10 pm and I feel a little better. My neck is still weak but not as bad. My legs and arms are about the same. I did make it through dinner without any jaw weakness. It got weak right at the last bite of food so that's a major improvement.

Ummm... well, go with your neuro's advice/schedule but that's a really fast ramp up. Typically you'd go with something (like 30 or 60) x 3 for a couple of weeks and see how you tolerate it / how well it is controlling the condition. I was on 60 X 3 for a long time before my neuro bumped me to 90 X 4 (long time as in a couple years and I was noticing symptoms starting to creep back.)
You need to watch for gastro-intestinal issues - these are usually the first signs of too much. If you start to experience any let your neuro know right away.
