I take 300mg of Co Q10 per day (but I am only on Herceptin and not chemo as well). I started off slowly with 50mg per day for several days (taking the pill with breakfast). After a week I added another 50mg pill (taking the second one with lunch). After another week, I added the third pill with dinner. Week 4 - 100mg breakfast, 50 mg lunch, 50 mg dinner. I think you get what I did. I did read somewhere that you should work up slow and work down slow and not take alot near bedtime because it can keep you up. My dose now is 150mg for breakfast, 100 mg at lunch and 50mg for dinner.

I hope this helps. I started Co Q 10 right after my muga to start herceptin. My muga was 70 and after 3 months my second muga was 65. My onco says this is really the same number or not much difference. I don't know if it is the CoQ 10 or that's just how it was going to be. I walk and work out a lot though.

Have a nice weekend
