[confused]

Oh, your earlier post gave the impression of 1 a day. I'd say 2 a day for a week or two, then go up to 3 for a week, and maybe 4 the week after. If you get any odd symptoms, drop back for a while.

I honestly think one should not go above the recommended dosage of
2 a day for at least several months, preferably half a year. From my
limited experience so far, I'd say:

1) give it plenty of time to work, patience is the key
2) have an abstinence period planned into your regime,
I think that may well help your growth, more so than
continuous consumption

I was in a hurry to start with, hit 6 a day almost immediately and got kidney pains. I don't know of anyone else who has, though some people do get headaches.

I didn't get any growth at all until I hit 6 but everyone is different.

One person needed 8 to get going, others are fine with 4.

I'd like to point out once more that I never went above 2 per day and
had started budding after barely a month and a half or so (see my previous
posts for details). Which is another reason to be extra careful when
taking PM. It really is a powerful herb and one should not be taking it
lightly.
