I'm a 65 yr old male, symptoms started 2013... diagnosed 2015. Started 100/25 C/L 2018 3x day and have gradually increased to 5 or 6 per day. We winter in Mexico so as I ran low on c/l 100/25 I could only find 250/25. I'm taking 3 or 4 per day.

We return to Ontario this week and I can refill my existing prescription.

I've only been on the higher dosage a couple of weeks..........WORKING GREAT

I meet with neuro and will discuss this month

Otherwise, I work out 5-6x a week and take vit d (have tried over the past 10 years...coconut oil, B1,etc...................All n all I think I'm doing pretty well.

QUESTION Does anyone have any comments on 250/25

I take one extended release at bedtime. It is simply one less pill to take for me. During the day I take 2 ea, 25/100 per dose, The extended release is supposed to last longer, but my neurologist couldn’t tell me how much longer and I don’t notice much of a difference to be honest, All the best to you!

The extended release is generally less effective than the regular stuff. More consistent and stable. There’s no problem with the bigger dose so long as you don’t become dyskinetic.
