Anyone have information on dosage?

[chartist in reply to reedboat2]

They used 1200 mg/day to good effect in one study. For glaucoma they used half of that.

I used 600mg x day for a month, but I didn't feel good and I stopped, now I use it occasionally.

I’ve been taking it for years. Citicholine has a very long 1/2 life. I take 250-300 mg with interludes quite occasionally. It appears to me that it compliments c/l very well. All of us are different and take different drugs at different dosages. So do your homework prior taking. My recommendation.

[Farooqji in reply to ParlePark]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Have you ever tried higher dose

[ParlePark in reply to Farooqji]

yes , tried Up too 1,000 mg. . I felt no benefit OF larger doses of CDP CHOLINE . Again, I highly recommend doing research as the 1/2 life is over 2 days! so it continues to stack daily

I’m 75, 6 years in weigh 175 lbs. I’m tremor dominant and doing ok, everything considered.

Hi Farooqji, what was the outcome?

[Farooqji in reply to JakeMax]

I am still taking 1000 mg citicoline daily. I feel that the effectiveness of existing levodopa dose has increased in terms of symptoms control. However I haven't decreased the dose of sinemet
