I'm really glad you felt energized! Just don't let that fool you into thinking you can leap tall buildings in a single bound.

At 62 I realise my days of leaping tall buildings are over even if the doctor prescribes TNT.

At any rate, I am working with my neuro to determine the dosage. Had he not told me that 2 tablets would be OK I wouldn't have tried it. He told me that the MAX dose was somewhere between 1000 and 2000 mg if I remember right. At that point, he said, signs of crisis start occurring as there is now too much acetylcholine flooding the system.

I am just really praying that there is a dosage somewhere that will give me the kind of response I got in a sustained manner. It has been very depressing not having any energy these last few years.
