Hi, tammy!
This is what I found here on this site:
"Loading dose: 800 to 1600 mg orally per day for 1 to 3 weeks (occasionally longer) until adequate arrhythmia control is achieved or if side effects become prominent, then switch to adjustment dose
Adjustment dose: 600 to 800 mg orally per day for 1 month, then switch to maintenance dose
Maintenance dose: 400 mg orally per day."
Since what you have in your system is on the low end of dosing I doubt you'll have any problem.
Regards.
