Also, you refer to your off periods being not so long. How long are the offs? There really is no need to tolerate off periods, when all you have to do is bring the next tablet forward slightly so that the two tablets overlap by ,say, 15 to 20 minutes. I really believe that it puts less strain on your dopamine system if you schedule your tablets so that you run at a fairly constant level, rather than cycle from on to off and to on again between each tablet.
