I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge on how long I should be taking my correct dosage before getting bloodwork done. I have been on the same dosage (600mg) for 7 months but ran out over the weekend (3 days w/o) and then just started taking them again on Monday (Day before yesterday). I am due to go in for bloodwork, but want to make sure my levels are in a normalized place before doing that. Any tips on when they should be back to normal? Thanks so much.

It takes 4 days to reach a stable level or that's what my pdoc used. YOu probably should call your pdoc's office to check what your pdoc likes to use.

Sure, thank you! I have the paper to take in with me to lab whenever I am free, so thankfully it's not a time constraint thing.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
