@rosac I started at 2 - 300mg per day. One in the morning and one at night, 600 total.

Zero pain, so much so, I naively thought one per day would work!🥴🙄

Needless to say, it took awhile but the pain started coming back so I went back to 600.

It took about a month to get back to zero pain!😉

@rosac I researched it and found out that for sciatica pain, the recommended dosage is 900, 3 - 300mg per day!

Also, keep in mind it usually takes at least 2 weeks to start feeling relief and at least a month before the pain is completely gone!

For me, I never had pain sitting or lying down. Just walking, and particularly when STANDING still!😳
