As suggested myself and encouraged by the doc, I’ll take a fraction of a normal dose to check it out first. He signed off on any dose that is lower than the one he prescribed (30 mg in the morning), and the capsules are intended for opening and dissolving in liquid.
So, I’m very sensitive. Low dose opioids for a cough give me euphoria, and when I tried Modafinil, 1/4 of a pill (2 pills is normal!) turned out to be just right for me.
On one hand, I could really use the full productivity boost tomorrow, which would mean trying 1/4 of 30 mg, 7.5 mg. On the other hand, safer would be 1/8th again as it was with Modafinil. Then again, 1/4 of the Modafinil dose was “bearable”, it was not intense suffering.
Trying 1/8th in the morning and another 1/8th at noon if the effect is really as low as a cup of coffee could also be an option, with the risk of losing sleep. I tend towards that option.
Some of the worst hours of my life were on the minimum dose Venlafaxine (and many report that), so I’m careful.
What do you think? Doing the super-low 1/10th test at 4 pm would still take away my sleep, right?
This is a question for your pharmacist; they should be happy to help if you give them a call.
Not trying to be rude, but it’s a bad idea to take medical advice from people on the Internet.
OP has established that they are being safe and working within their docs guidelines.
They asked random people on the Internet for dosage advice when there is professional advice available for free.
Why not use informed free advice instead of dubious free advice? How is that responsible?
