For my HU followers:

Just left my neurologist. She prescribed one tablet every three hours (25/100 IR), and one 50/200 CR at bedtime.

The therapeutic level is four grams daily. Did you join the group?

I started with 2g and then 1g and now 0.5 g a day from March 2018 and is working pretty good. I tried one time 4g and my BP went crazy. I would not recommend 4g for everyone.

Just completed the first night with this protocol. Can say the doctor was right. Smaller doses more frequent. Keep the dopamine at even, consistent level without extreme highs. Best nights rest in a long time.
