start at a low dose, like 1 or 2 pills per day, spread out over morning & mid afternoon (don't do it after 3 pm -you'll never fall asleep). Go for a week and add another if you stop feeling the jitters. If you start gettign headaches, back off a pill because you've found your limit. By the end of the 2 week cycle, you may be up to like 4 +. So then take 2 weeks off to let your receptors clear out and start over again at the low dose.
