Thanks for writing in all. I get the 'speedy' effects and find myself with lower appetite and more energy- all good things. In fact, when it peaks, I feel a little stoned, not sure if that's good or not LOL.

But I was wondering more what the therapeutic effects will be so that I'll know them when they come. It feels weird waiting 4-6 weeks for something and not knowing what I 'm waiting for. Also, is this usually prescribed according to body weight or is there some EDIT 'absorbtion' factor in who is more sensitive, etc. I'm almost 300 lbs, so some logic says maybe I should need more medicine than a 125 pound person, but I suppose the brains are the same size so ???

I do think I'll call Dr. Tues and check in. The side effects aren't too bad, and if he initially wanted me on 300mg, I should make an effort to get there. It's all good.
