Ah right. I was prescribed 2mg capsules, but permitted to take 2 of them if 1 didn’t work. These days though, I’ve gone down to 1mg tablets, and I take another if need be. I find that if I take over 4mg I get very groggy, and sometimes struggle to sleep the more I have. I took 7mg once (bad night), and the next day I could barely function.
That said, I know a dude who takes 15mg, which just seems truly excessive. But it’s mostly unregulated in the US, so they just gladly sell 20 or 30mg tablets. more than 30mg seems to be considered dangerous, or at least risky, although it doesn’t seem to have been well tested.
