I started with 100mg a day taken at night because of side effects with previous medication as we are not all the same this might not be a starting point for you finding what works or not.

Hi I was on the same dose 100mg3times a day plus a a 300gr tablet at night. I built up quite slowly it was a very effective pain regime.

Good luck with that

I was prescribed 1 x 300mg on day one, 2 x 300mg on day two, 3 x 300mg on day 3 and had no problems with that but we all react differently.
