Another thing to consider is that PM is kind of intended for females who already have and are used to more estrogen than testosterone. Your body is the other way around - more testosterone than estrogen. I think flipping the balance is best done slowly even though 500mg probably wont be a dose you stay on for more than a week or two. Flamesabers has a better point though, you could easily overshoot your optimum dose by starting too high even if your body tolerates that much and many of us are doing fine on 1000 - 1500mg daily. I shoot for 1500 most days (500 per dose, 3 doses) but pop two on occasion before bed or in the morning just for variation.
One other thing. You probably wont notice the mental effects all of a sudden. I think most seasoned contributors will tell you that they didn't notice anything changed until they went OFF PM after taking it for a while. That's what happened to me. I didn't notice any changes after starting PM but after taking a pause, I became short and edgy with my wife in about three days and THEN I realized what it was doing to my mood.
By the way, if I came across a little snarky in my earlier post, it wasn't intentional. I was just calling it like I see it but not wanting to sound like I was trying to change your mind.
