I started out 570mg/week of eq - two pins per week to break it up. On the day of each pin, within a half hour, i felt like my bp skyrocketed and i was having anxiety attacks for the rest of the day. Heart rate was over 100 and nothing i did for the rest of the day would lower it back down or make me feel better. It would subside the next day. After the 3rd week, the feeling wouldn't go away the next day. It lasted for 3 days (up to my next pin), so I didn't use any EQ on that 2nd pin of the 3rd week and only got a half dose for the week. I felt better. I'm in my 4th week and cutting the dosage down to about 270mg for this week and will slowly raise it and see at what point the anxiety comes back. It was debilitating, so i can't deal with it again. I couldn't even work out. It felt like i'd have a heart attack and my body was already racing.
