But I wonder if coming up with the correct dosage based on you would be more beneficial and lessen the nasty side effects. (Just a thought here.)

Absolutely......the CRABS cannot be a "one size fits all" medication. I believe you should listen to your body and do what feels right for you. Just because one person is on a full dose doesn't necessarily mean that dosage is right for everyone. If it feels bad, tweak it till it feels better. If a full dose gives you terrible sx then lower the dose until the sx are tolerable. MS is bad enough without the medications causing more problems.
