Progressive Dosing Protocols Rather than maintaining a static dose throughout a research cycle, progressive protocols involve systematic dose adjustments: Weeks 1-2 : Start at 15mg daily to assess baseline tolerance and response Weeks 3-4 : Increase to 25mg daily if well-tolerated Weeks 5-8 : Potentially increase to 30-35mg based on goals and response Weeks 9-12 : Maintain optimal dose identified during earlier weeks This approach allows for individualized optimization while maintaining safety margins
