[QUOTE="canmanagethis, post: 195960, member: 42031"] Good question. I found that generally there is a small tolerance that happens in the beginning. So, for example, when I started, I took 2.5 to 5mg, but after about a year it went to 8.5-10mg and and has then has stayed there for years. I can say that I've had a few bad nights over the years where 10mg wasn't strong enough due to extreme stress (like a death of a family member), so I upped to between 12.5-15mg for that night, and then went back down to 8-10mg after two days and stayed down again. Talking with various shop owners, some say they often see a very slow growth over the years, and people will get to higher amounts, getting to 20mg or a little more. But, now I'm talking 20 years of slow growth. However, I do know that you can also reset yourself by not taking it for a few months, and start over again (maybe not 2.5, but it depends on the person, 5-10mg is pretty normal for most people aiming to sleep).
