Great Thread 45ACP.
For me, it all comes down to "what is the minimum dose I can get through the day with"? That said, there are very stressful days when I need to up my dose significantly to avoid the panic attacks... At this point, I know my medication well enough to determine what dose will be required for those days.
Your goal should be to always avoid building tolerance by taking the minimum amount required to get you through the day. There will be days when you need more, but be sure to limit any increased dose to a short term basis.
Self discipline is the key to staying healthy in this game, and it requires a never ending series of checks and balances. If you can get through the day on 1 - 2 Mg. of a medication, then be sure you hold yourself at that level. If you let it slip to 3 Mg. per day, then you can be damn sure that 4 Mg. per day is not far off.
Always consider that your supply chain could be disrupted, or that your sources could rapidly disappear altogether. Everyone on this forum should have a realistic sense of what the consequences of sudden withdrawal are. They can be life threatening. If you keep your dose low and maintain enough medication for a safe taper, then you should be OK. Be safe my friends.
Good Luck
