Hi kcsab,
Looking at your were very similar to mine.
At peak dosage I was taking 2000mg BO at 5pm and 2000mg at bedtime. That's well beyond the recommended dosage but I tolerated it well, of course I gradually moved up to that over a matter of months gradually increase from 500 mg a day over 12 months. I would not recommend starting at 2000 mg, and more isn't necessarily better, Istayed at a high dose for a year and then tapered off over the next 6 months then switchedto Estradiol. I did not take any RR.
One thing to remember it's is a marathon not a sprint, it could be up to a year before you notice and noticeable changes. Best of luck with your progress.
