IIRC, it was 15mg for two weeks, 30mg for two weeks, etc. I could be wrong, though. I kept a chart but I can't find it.

The side-effects started fast. The positive effects did not really occur until I had been at 60mg/day for ten days.

I tried bringing my dose down by tiny steps, but even taking 45mg every third or fourth day caused a decrease in benefits.

A little less than two years.
