My doctor had me at .2mgs (that's point 2) twice a day.  It works very well.  there are also 7 day patches that work great!  If you can, ask your doctor for some ativan which will help with the RLS and sleeplessness.

I was told .006mg per KG of body weight. I weigh about 260 which is 128 KG. 128KG*.006= approx .7-.8 mg taken in divided doses 3 times a day (I'm a big guy). I didn't take that much usually. I took one .1 tab and adjusted my dosage by my bp.

I took 0.1 mgs 3x per day.... when the Wd's were really bad.. the rest of the time I took halves as suggested by my doc due to my lower body weight..
