    100mg - 200mg is a normally prescribed dose, although a quack friend I used to play cricket with has prescribed it at 400mg for sleep apnea patients of his.
    No, when did I say that? It works fine for him, no side effects, just lets him function more like he used to.

      Tbh, it only keeps you awake if you take it in excessive quantities, or too late in the day.

      Apologies, I think I misinterpreted what you said.

      I would agree, if you take too much, or take it too late, it will keep you awake, but if you use it properly, it works fine.

      If you don't mind me asking, what is wrong, is he narcoleptic?

          He has got MS. Not too serious and he still has more energy than most folk without, but he has been working to set up a business for 2 years and he has to put in some long days. He is lucky his GP prescribes it as some won't. He keeps it to a minimum.

            I wonder what dose he was on today.
