I wouldn't start by taking the maximum dose. Have you read all the kudzu threads? Please be sure to inform yourself before you begin taking it. Take your largest dose at least 2 hours prior to your highest CH activity time. (for example, if you get hit only at night, take 2 tablets at bedtime)  
I currently take 4 kudzu tablets a day. My bottle says I can take 6. I take 2 in the morning (daytime is my biggest activity time) 1 at 3PM and 1 at 9PM. I started by taking 1 tablet 3 times a day and found I needed more in the daytime. Once you find the amount and times that work best for you, be consistent with the timing. Good luck...I hope it works for you.  
PF wishes, nani

and what brand are you taking?  Are you taking verapamil? Did you adjust the verapamil?  How often do you check your Blood Pressure.

I am taking Planetary formulas Kudzu Recovery. I was on 480 mg of Verapamil a day when I started and I still take 360 mgs a day. I have high blood pressure, so it has not been problematic for me. The first week I was checking my BP daily and it didn't change. Now I check once in a while and am still in the 120/70 range. If your BP is already low, proceed with caution and check it regularly.

My husband was using the Natures Way Kudzu and did use 2 caps 3x/day.  He did fine spacing the dosages out regularly throughout the day.  
 
He wasn't on any other meds and lower dosages didn't work for him.
 
Good luck - we've had fantastic results with it.

I used Nature's Way, 613 mg per cap, 5 caps per day.  It took quite a bit of time to figure out how I should space them out, but eventually, it worked best with none at awakening, 1 about 10:00, then 1  about 2:00, and 2 at 7:00, and 2 at 10:00 bedtime.  My hits were mostly in the late afternoon at work, and major hits during the evening/night time hours.  It takes a lot of trial and effort before you find the right dosage and timing, but it is worth it.  I was not one of the major success stories because I never reached PF status, but the Kudzu did help in shortening the hits and making them lower on the kip scale.
