> This was my thought exactly, I'm actually taking some days at 2.5 mg first, then I think I am going to sit at 3 mg for a while. Even though it' only 3 mg, I can't help but view it as a 50% dose increase! Jumping to 5 seems to make little sense to me, especially when you hear over and over how strong so many people find 2 mg.The jump from sun-dried turquoise to 5mg was a profound one for me.....
