When I was put on met a few years ago, I wasn't on the xr to begin with. I started out on 1000mg a day. I took one tablet with breakfast and one with supper. About a month after starting that dose, I was bumped up to 1500 mg. I took one tablet with each meal. Now I am on 2000mg daily of XR. I take one tablet in the morning after breakfast and one tablet before I go to bed. HTH
