10 weeks paired ramp.
Source · PEPVERA editorialWellness
Hydrate. Eat protein. Sleep eight. Hold a dose for at least two weeks before ascending.
Anti-patterns
- · Do not pair with stimulants late in the day.
- · Do not break the cycle without a planned taper.
- · Do not exceed the dose to chase a deeper sleep response.
Crisis
If the ramp triggers severe anxiety, anhedonia, or persistent gastrointestinal disturbance, stop. Resume after two weeks at half the prior dose. The discipline is the slow climb.
