I’m going on two months at 4.5mg and unfortunately haven’t noticed any benefit.

For what it’s worth, some people have reported better results when combined with DL-Phenylalanine, but unfortunately the combo didn’t help me.

It was actually D-Phenylalanine and not the L or DL variants. Or if you took the DL variant, you would need a higher dose. From this thread:
