Fine to stay on a low dose?

Yes, stay low. I hit my goal on just 1.5, took a year, but nobody should feel obliged to pay for a higher dose while the low one does the job.
 
Going back to .25 is fine, moving up isn't mandatory, and even less than .25 works. A lot of docs push fast increases for the best outcome, though that's not always true. Stay low for around two weeks and see whether it sits well.
 
couldnt agree more. i stuck with 2.5 the entire run since it kept doing what it needed to. in my opinion, holding at the smallest effective amount is always the right call. three years in now and im still maintaining on a pretty minimal amount.
 
Finding a prescriber you actually trust and who gives sound advice matters a lot here. I went over maintenance dosing with mine a few months into treatment. Part of why advice varies so much is that reactions to this medication differ person to person, and providers themselves don't agree on the target, some push toward the highest dose a person can handle, others aim for the smallest amount that still gets results.
 
Dropped back down to the quarter milligram amount after a pause, and that held up well for quite a stretch. If its still doing something for you, id just stay there. No reason to rush up and end up feeling awful when the lower amount is already doing its job.
 
Agreed on staying as low as actually works. If side effects get too rough, mine were gut related, splitting the dose even further is an option too. I ran 1.25mg every four days for a while. Almost quit at one point, glad I stuck with it since it ended up working great and I've stayed on that low amount since. Been a slow, steady road for me. Some people need to climb a lot higher to see results, and that's fine, just try not to measure your progress against theirs. Comes down to finding whatever actually works for your own body.
