I would normally take 10-14 pills when I would wake up at 6:00 AM. Take about 4-6 more in the late afternoon.. about 2 or 3pm.. Then 2-4 before going to bed.. Like I read in a book.. You become a slave to the clock.. I knew when to take my next dosage.. I could feel the iritability hit me. Knew I had to feed my addiction..
