I think the ramp up sounds fine except it is too quick, you really ought to spend a week at each level to allow your body to acclimatise. Going to 3000mg quickly is almost guaranteed to give you a blinding headache which no pain killers will shift.

The cycling PM dose was my idea ( I think) based on two things: (1) the fact that I was getting increased itching/tingling/growing pains both on the way up and on the way down, and (2) staying at a high dose all the time can lead to stalling, where the body's feedback mechanism decides that there is too much hormone in total floating around so it shuts down its own production - you need to keep it guessing!

Makes sense.

ok, how about starting at 500mg 3x per day, or if that poses any issues gradually work up to that over 1 week...?
