Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I . I have 5'7 " and weigh about 170 now. I had maintained my weight at about 145 for many years. At one time, I got down to 127 (in 1988) - but I was too thin. I couldn't maintain this weight unless I exercised 2 hours daily. I hardly eat much anymore - but never lose a pound. Since you also take DMSA - it probably won't be a good comparison, but I wondered what your symptoms were when you began taking ALA, and what dosage you began at. Were you symptoms worse on the off days? Thanks for helping. Doris > > Citrus Punch > > I've been taking 200 mgs. DMSA and 200 mgs. ALA for about 8 months. I weigh 200 lbs. so this dose for me is 1 mg. per pound. I want to increase now and I want to know if increasing ALA to 300 mgs. is okay. I mean I can tolerate it, but I want to know if those doses are used by others and are okay. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know if increasing beyond what you are already using would be beneficial. How are you doing with the curent dosage ?
