6) How long  should I wait in between dosages?


Like everything previously discussed, this is also individualized. 

In general, the more acute and severe something is, the more frequent the doses can be without producing an aggravation, and the higher the potency the remedy can be (potency being another subtlety I haven't really discussed, one which may actually never be important in your case, but something I'll touch on in the future if it becomes necessary to change potencies).     

As mentioned above, in a chronic, long-lasting condition, I'd wait around a week to see a response before potentially redosing (assuming nothing has changed in this week), while I'd wait as little as a few minutes to redose if you were facing a severe hospitalizing or life-threatening condition, such as an assault by migraines that were painful enough to put you in the hospital.  

Again, these are just general guidelines. Please call or email me if you are unsure whether to redose or wait in a certain situation that I haven't covered, or if you simply feel that the guidelines don't apply to you. You could, after all, be right! I'll always value a own patient's opinion about their progress over the standard response guidelines any day. 

If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact me at 778-805-6655, and I can give you a much more concise and targeted answer!

Take care,
Andy
