So another part of my question is, "WHEN should I ask my doctor to up the dose to 500 mg?" Mainly because the stupid pharmacy didn't cut my pills for me and I'm afraid I'm cutting them wrong. And also because I feel great and feel as though I could up the dosage. Should I wait at least a week or two before calling to ask?
I don't take met (yet) but if splitting the pills is a problem you can pick up a pill splitter at the pharmacy for super cheap (under $3). I couldn't live without mine
