I’m just a tall guy who weighs 200+ lbs. I started at 5mg and built up from there. I guess it wasn’t tolerance so much as adjusting to the dose?

Don’t let it hold you back, it’s worth it. Grief is a part of growth.

I slowly built up over a couple years, then when I quit drinking I was able to reduce down to just over half my top dose.

Yep. There will be dosage adjustments later as you develop a tolerance, but it’s life changing.

One of the things you should be prepared for is grief; being able to function properly on medication made me look back and think what my life could have been like if I had been diagnosed and treated sooner. I had to grieve for the life I missed out on because I didn’t understand how to help my brain function until my 30s.

Derp!

You already said he was a barbarian. No need to be redundant.
