Thiamine - Is anyone taking a daily dose that's less than 1000 MG?

I have tried various strengths up to 2000mg and have settled on 500mg. I found with the higher doses that after an initial improvement my tremor and rigidity worsened, hence the decrease to 500mg and that seems to be the right dose for me. By the way, both my pull test and walking tests are all normal at this moment.

the pull test is wonderfull thing to determine improve, take a look at this!

Is that 500mg in one pill or do you take 250mg twice a day?

[pjokeefe in reply to nourilo]

I take 500g when I get up in the morning, around 7.00am. I did think of taking it in two lots but haven't tried that as yet. I will let you know.

Thank you for your reply...i cant afford to start at a higher dose and work down as symptoms dictate since i take care of myself [no care giver]. so i started low and thought id work up. i started with 600 and after several weeks went to 700 and then felt jittery. good to know others are still seeing benefit at lower doses.

Good luck. It has taken a little bit of experimentation to arrive at 500mg. Stops and starts along the way. My symptoms are very mild and as I said my pull test is rock solid.

I started with 2000mgs a day which was not helping. I have reduced to 700mgs per day which seems to be doing some good relieving tremor. I get a good nights sleep and start madopar at 200/50 about 8 am then one at 12 pm and one at 4pm.
