I think I will go back to 1,000 mg and go up in small steps. If I start feeling really bad again, I will back off to a lower dose until I feel better. I really don't understand because I felt great for a couple of months at 2,500 mg and all of a sudden felt terrible. Oh well, I guess that is hormones for you. By the way, I was in my 6th month of PM when I stopped.
As Pansy-Mae noted, I don't think anyone can give you a precise answer on this one.
Like you, I have taken a fairly high dose (3,000 mg) for several months before hitting estrogen dominance. The difference for me though was I still felt bad when I went cold turkey on pm, rather than better. I reintroduced progesterone cream into my program at this point and I reduced my dosage to 2,000 mg.
