It isn't recommended to take that much at once in the drug monograph. I think 150mg as a single dose is the max. recommended amount. The seizure risk is increased with the higher peak blood level. Also, blood pressure may go up a lot too. IMO, I would ask my pdoc if I could take a 150mg SR tab first thing in the morning and then the 2nd one 3-4 hrs later. Check your BP.
