Jackie,
This has been going on for a couple years, experimenting with dosage. I started with 120mg and that didn't do much but it did help. Then I tried 80mg twice a day. No change that I could see. Finally, 240SR once a day and it help enomously. From 3-5/week to maybe one every 2 weeks. I saw my Nero again and he recomended 240SR twice a day. it's been 3 months now and I've had 2 HA in that time and they weren't that bad. Imitrex injection took care of them easily.
For the most part, I would get HA at either 2:00AM or 2:00PM (or on a bad day, both times).
Once again, I've had no side effects at all that I can feel, at 240SR twice a day. Dosage may have something to do with body size although I'm not THAT big at 6'1" and 185lbs.
Neil.
