I've wondered about what you've said - dose being too high. I'm certainly open to considering it. The lower dosages I've tried, including 7.5, 10, and 15 didn't do much. At least I think. I'm far more "in tune" to my body's reactions to the meds now that I've had a few months practice "listening."
Do you think I should take a week - several weeks break, and then start all over again with a more systematic way of finding a good dose? Mind you, I'm not really looking for the Zing, although I did like it. I'm looking for the perceptibly noticed increase in energy, motivation, clarity in thinking, etc. I'm really not interested in turning this into a thing where I'm looking to get stoned, and I can see how seductive that is, at least for awhile. What I really want, is just to find a dosage that makes a noticeable difference, but that I won't crash so hard either.
Btw, I tried a 15mg 1-hour before I got up this morning, then another 15mg at 11am, then a 45 at three. My day went so much better today no hills and valleys -- until later in the evening when the 45 wore off - crash time again. But the idea of doing it this way is potentially very helpful for me, so thanks again for the advice. Perhaps I need to take that last dose down just a bit!
