i think it depends 1) of course individual bio-make up, but also 2) level of anxiety and if it has peaks in the day.
i had a friend that took 1-200mg/day to start and was fine, eventually got up to 300m TID.
Myself at my peak anxiety (time of year) i was taking around 1800/2100mg. Now i'm taking about 6-900mg/day. there are some days that i only take 300mg (1 pill).i did notice that for my average anxiety it worked like a charm...like now. but there were times when my anxiety was Very high and i ended up dopey AND still anxious.
so my advice would be to start low and go as needed. but keep an eye out if there are peaks of your anxiety.
wish you luck.
