Ok, so i waited until I absolutley need to up my dosage and I really think I need to. I'm only on 25mgs a night and was supposed to go up to 50 mgs a night after the first week but I waited a full 10 days. I have gotten completely used to the side effects now on 25 and just occassionally have a memory lapse here or there, tingling when I don't drink enough water, spaciness when I don't drink water. Other wise I'm fine as long as I drink a lot and take it on time.

However, I'm scare to move up to 50 mgs a night. Are the side effects much worse or do you think since I doing well now I should do well on the 50;s? Thanks for your help!

I was like that the first time I had to go up. I think your body quickly gets used to it. I am up to 3 now and I don't think that the side effects really get much worse. I do drink about 80 0z of water a day - may help. The tingling is the only thing that gets a little anoying. I haven't had memory loss - although I can't say that I had much of one to begin with!!:)
