I use 4.5mg because I can without causing any problems. Most men and small women (under 100 lbs) only use 3.0mg.

If you are going through other issues right now, Kelly, knock it down and try again when you are stable.

3mg was Dr Bahari's original optimal dose but he changed that to 4.5mg, about 5 years ago. But, I believe, for those very sensitive to meds, 1.75-2mg would be ok, if they find that 3 is too much.
