I'm just wondering about the high dosages. I take 1 mg some days .50 mgs the next and skip days. Been doing this for 6 months and maintaining very well. I hope to just jump off soon. I've have lost all cravings, even for alcohol. I'll let you folks know how it goes when I quit it. I started out with 16mgs a day. Too me that was too much. I know it varies with everyone depending on your past usage.
