[bryony]

I just started PM about 5 days ago, 1g/day. Brain re-wiring is definitely something I am interested in. How long should I wait before go up in dosage? I don't want to overdo it or cause unnecessary issues.

First recommendation is never to take any after 8pm or so, to enable your kidneys to get rid of any by-products. I've woken up with lower back pain often enough to prove to myself that PM is the cause.

Other than that, it's not clear. I was on 3g/day by day 3, but I'm not recommending it. That's when I got my back pain, but I took the last ones before bed. I went back to 2/day and worked my way up to 6 (3g) per day over the next 2 months. Given that I no longer get back pain even when I take 6g, 3 days in a row, I feel reasonably confident that you could experiment with increasing by 500mg per week until you get a growth spurt (prickles, itches, that kind of thing).

Whoops - I just caught that your main interest is "brain rewiring". I assume you mean getting the calmness, loss of anxiety etc. I was 59 when I started, and I think my T levels were a lot lower than when young (no, haven't been tested). It took 3g/day before I started to experience euphoria (as a springback from dysphoria!) which eventually settled down to a feeling of mental functionality, how I think a "normal" human being should feel.

I don't know how much you will need. I suppose it's going to be a complicated combination of how much androgen your brain got during gestation, how high your T-levels are, but here in the UK we have a saying: "suck it and see", which now that I come to think about it could very well be misinterpreted by people in the US. Oh well.
