Start with one 50 mg capsule in midafternoon. Go up to two (100 mg) if you don’t get much benefit from one in an hour. Add a third, if needed for maximum effect, in about an hour. Now you’ve established your dose. Take the same dose at nine-thirty at night if you have sleep problems. If moodiness (or craving for carbs or alcohol) occurs only in the evening before bedtime, move your midafternoon dose up closer to dinnertime or take your bedtime dose earlier (an hour or two after dinner). You can also take 1 or 2 more capsules if you wake up in the night and don’t drop right back to sleep or if you wake up anxious and worried in the morning. (More on sleep remedies in chapter 12.) Between 4 and 6 (50 mg) capsules a day is all that our clients typically require. Larger or more depleted people sometimes need more.
