ok,
@IdleRich, you were right - each subsquare is 15 mg so i took 60mg
i just got this ridiculous long email full of info and instructions because according to them i am supposed to tell them my start date after i get my meds - they might have told me that previously when the doctor was telling me a long list of details, but she told me so many things i can't remember it all
"You have received a pack with 30 troches of strength 60 mg (that is, a TOTAL of 1800 mg in the pack)."
"You can begin by taking 15 mg (a quarter of one troche lozenge). We recommend taking your dose in the morning or at least three or more hours before bedtime. Many people find this is a good time for them, but if you find that another time works better for you or your schedule, that's fine too. We know the instructions on your medicine pack say take 1-2 times daily; you may eventually end up taking doses multiple times a day, but to begin with, plan to start with a single dose daily."
I guess I should also do this next time instead of holding it with my tongue (I do remember them saying to do it that way, but I didn't remember any reason why):
"Hold the medicine between your upper jaw and cheek and allow it to dissolve. You may swallow your saliva as it dissolves, but it is best not to try to dissolve the troche faster. This is because the medicine is metabolized better when it is absorbed through the cheek and into your bloodstream rather than in the stomach. For most people, it dissolves in about 10-15 minutes, although for some it may take longer (especially if your mouth is on the drier side).
but THIS, this I find totally ridiculous: "Daily e-check-in: We'll communicate via a daily e-check-in. Most days it should take you less than 30 seconds to respond. Once a week it will take 3-4 minutes. "
less than 30 seconds to respond - wtf?!
I'm sorry, but I didn't grow up completely attached to my phone.
