I don't believe a maximum dosage has ever been determined. We just
know how much is generally needed to cause a reversal of symptoms and
so far, that amount has not caused any obvious, undesireable side
effects.
Dr. Weiss recommends 2mg of the four-month. Since you only gave him
1mg to start, I don't see how adding 1mg a month early would be
harmful.
