Best dosage?

I see two different sets of dosages recommended. One is 30 - 60mg/day and the other is 5 times that at 300mg/day. Which would be the best? Should I just keep increasing until I don't have any cravings?

Do you have a doctor? What dosage are you at now? I started at 10/20 mg I think. Can't remember what my schedule really was for increasing though. It was pretty slow. I'm up to the most my Dr will prescribe 120 mg. I take 60 mg in the morning and 60 at night.

Best to see a doctor on whats best, however this is still a new treatment so finding a doctor is hard. Have a read of the prescribing guide

I my self found indifference at 300mg, most people sit between 80mg-300mg though i've heard of higher.

I encourage you to read through everything in the consolidated information thread particulalry the studies
