To _Re: Inositol - can it be taken in afternoon?

[Guest guest]

Thanks, .

I'm glad to hear that the inositol hasn't caused any sleep problems for your

son. My daughter is already on 1500mg, but she's been taking it all in the

morning. I think dividing the doses may be the way to go. She already has

problems sleeping, so I didn't want to add to that... your post makes me feel

better about having her take some later in the day.

I'm glad it's worked well for your son - I hope we see some consistent

improvement soon.

Thanks again!

two doses - about 1,800 mg in the morning after breakfast, and about 1,800 mg

right before bed. He's never had any trouble sleeping. I've never heard of

inositol causing sleep problems. You should increase the dosage slowly, as it

can cause stomach upset. The dose my son is taking is really considered pretty

low, but I stopped here because I saw an improvement in his OCD symtoms. I

believe that adults can take up to 18 grams a day.
