FWIW, When I had a hard time tolerating 300 mg, instead of going back to 225, I went down to 262.5, which was a good dose for me for a long time. It was a bit more expensive, however, because I had to buy 2 different strengths--75's and 37.5's. It would have been cheaper to get all of in in 37.5's, but the doc said the insurance companies look askance at docs who do that. So I would buy the two different strengths and pay two co-pays. At the time, my insurance had decent co-pays so I didn't mind.
(Subsequently, I went down to 225 because I was feeling better after initiating fish oil every day.)
But I just wanted to add that in case anyone's best dose is between the standard dose numbers.
