I did some experimentation on the dosage the doctor gave me, and it was resulting in a racing heart and lightheadedness. I reduced my dosage to 25mg and it seems to be fine with positive results. Been finding the doctors here to be hellbent on cranking up dosages without any consideration if that dosage is healthy. I was told that the doctor knew best and that even if I felt horrible it would get better. Although, when I stopped taking the high dosages I felt a lot better.Do that if you're really wanting to experiment. But your level isn't bad, so there may not be any benefit in supplementing.

I asked only because I have capsules bought for some time, but then I decided not to take because of what I had read at the time about, what benefits would basically be more for women, and red effects on men ... while they talked here at the high-dose forumDo that if you're really wanting to experiment.
