I believe the standard dose is 150mg - and it really does take about 6 weeks to feel the full effects. I was on 150mg for two prescription cycles and felt like it was not quite right. I'm now on my second cycle of 225mg (take a 150 capsule and a 75 capsule) and the new dose is just now settling in. The constipation was noticeable for me, but it decreased. Drinking lots of water and eating high fiber foods helps. I have gained a few pounds also, but I think it was due to initial demotivation to exercise. I'm back to exercising again and I hope to lose the 5-8 pounds I gained soon.
