Hi there,

I've had both of these problems... I think if you stick to the same dose, you do get used to it. I've started taking a high dose for 3 days a week and a low dose for the other four. By high, I mean 4-5g! Low means 1-2g.

That sounds like an interesting idea. Do you notice any major shift in mood or other changes as you go from high to low or vice versa?

Taking the same dosage for five months is a good arrangement for me if I can make it work. My concern is having to go higher and higher on the dosage to get the mental benefits. Maybe after taking the same dose for five or six months, taking a week or two of a lower dose (1.5g-2g) would help keep the effective pm dose at a reasonable amount for me?

Not major, really, apart from keeping myself mentally straight. As I said, I have this feeling my body gets used to a particular dose... I suppose it's like drug tolerance. The problem with your suggestion is that if you go for a long period, e.g. 5 months and suddenly drop the level for an extended period, I feel that that will more likely hit the negative effects than the four day period that I use. It seems to work for me, and it so happens that my week divides quite nicely into a 3/4 day routine.

Why do you think that the same dosage for 5 months is a good arrangement? If it is a question of growth, I have been getting more growth over this 3 high/ 4 low than I did before... of course everyone's different.
