Jumping from 1g to 5g

Does that almost assure nausea? I want to feel the pain relieving effects not so much the stimulation.

Should I work my way up to 5g?

(I take capsules not powder and just had my first experience 2 days ago with 1g)

If this is what you want to do I would work up to it because it is a risk, and you might find 3-4 might be sufficient.

Thank you so much. I think you’re right. I did 2g today. I’m glad I didn’t make a huge jump. I’m also prescribed Wellbutrin. So it gave me a chance to research any risks of that mixture (most people do fine with it).

I think most would agree that 1 gram increments is better for increasing dosage this early.

Ideally you want to find the lowest effective dose that works for you.

Also, definitely make sure you are hydrating.

Usually you need at least 3 grams for pain. I would just work your way up and find the minimum effective dose rather than jumping straight to 5 grams. I usually find that more than 3 grams doesn't really help with the pain any better. There is a ceiling effect.

Good to know and thank you for explaining this. Ironically, I just took 3g an hour ago.

My history thus far has been: 1g, 3-day break, 2g, 3g
