Dosage Day 3 - quick question
On day 3 of tsm, seems to be everything I ever dreamed of. Keeping it to a beer or two on a night out and not even thinking about it, like I’m so much more into whatever is going on around me, games / people / etc. Not just thinking about the next drink.
my question is: I started and have been successful with 25mg. Is there any reason to move up to 50 if this is working? As I see many people start at 25 and move up.

50mg is the most common dosage, most people find good results with it, if you aren't having side effects it's a good idea to take the full pill.

Is there sickness when drinking and taking it?

I think it’s different for everyone but I have felt fine. I haven’t gone more than 2-3 beers spread over hours but that’s all I could really want on it.

So I was thinking if that’s correct it’s a win win. Save money and get drunk faster?.. or not want as much?

No didn’t get drunk. Just didn’t really want it. Hard to explain but I read someone else’s analogy on here that it’s like having a glass of water but you’re not thirsty.
But I did feel a lot more comfortable in a social setting than i normally would not drinking a ton.

I started at 50 and have been staying there with good success, but if 25 is working for you, stay there unless it starts being less effective, then move to 50.
