What DMPS dose

[Guest guest]

What is reasonable with DMPS?

I am doing 5 mg every 6 hours right now. My perscription is for 6 weeks of it,

so I was thinking about asking for 10 mg pills at the next refill. Is that

reasonable. Also, would 6 weeks of that be pretty reasonable?

Here is how I understood it:

http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/Andy_dose_sched.html#dosage

DMPS (alone): 1/4 to 1 mg of DMPS per pound of body weight, per dose (every 8

hours)

So, I am about 140 pounds, so that means I need about 35-140 mg?? Is that

right??

Also, I am doiing it every 6 hours, not every 8, does that mean I need lower

doses.

So my question is what kind of doses and increases are reasonable.

Here is what I did before: I have done a few rounds of verying lengths (3-7

days) of 12.5 DMSA. I dont know, I *thikn* that I felt better on round, with

maybe some side effects off round, but when I thought about it more, it seems

like maybe not (I wasn't doing chelation for about 2 weeks due to not being able

to with other people staying in the same room at night, and noticed the same

pattern of feeling really good some days and bad others, so I dont know that it

is truly related to chelation.)

So, I am not sure what kinds of dose increases are okay. Is it just 5 mgs

every time for the DMPS, and if so how many rounds (assuming you dont notice any

significant side effects, which I have not -- BUT, I want to know what is a SAFE

way to do it assuming there may be side effects but I'm just not recognizing

them as connected to the chelation.)
