Welcome to the LDN club, Stacy!

Yes, 1.5 is good to start with. It kinda messed with me (a few sx) and I nearly quit, but decided I hadn't made my best effort.

Now I take 4.5 mg. with no bothersome side effects. The dreams can be pretty vivid from time to time, though!

I do think it has made my blood pressure rise and I have packed on some more unwanted lbs. But it can also cause you to LOSE weight (naturally, that wouldn't happen to ME!)

Good luck with it. Take it easy and don't rush to increase your dose. Give it a month or so for your body to adjust between upping the doses.
