Thanks for your responses! I initially started off a couple months ago taking about 500 mg, but really didn't feel any different, once that bottle was gone I got pills with 500mg each and started taking 2 at night. I slept so much better and I was even dreaming (something I usually didn't do). For the past week is when I started taking 2 in the morning as well as my two at night, I've found that that morning dose has help with the regularity (sorry if TMI!) and appetite suppression. I've read up that overdoses do cause diarrhea - I haven't experienced that so I thought I was doing okay. There is so much different info on what dosage is best to take - so I was wondering what others have found. Thanks for your help!
