This kind of freaked me out some, and my anxiety is a bit high over it. Anyone have some insight on this? Any good info or personal experiences?
it can take a year or two to determine your optimal dose

what is an optimal dose?

it is the "highest" dose you can take and still maintain relatively normal blood levels, including blood pressure, and pulse rate.

For me, that's about 80mg/week.

yes, in the beginning, I debated with my doc on what the right dose was, and resisted his wanting to reduce the dose. But this is for the rest of your life, so you need to make sure you get control of your results early on.
