Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 2.5mg, which is the low dose. The standard dose is 5mg. I haven't gone up to that yet. But taking it at night completely gets rid of the hunger. I take it at 9pm and even when I have to stay up until 1 or 2am because of work, I don't have the nighttime munchies. If I take it at 9am, forget it, it is a lunch/afternoon eating fest. Jan Re: Re: Deltacortril /Jan What dose makes you hungry Jan?
