The schedule

Inject 1 mg under the skin each morning on days 1 to 5, 1.5 mg on days 6 to 14 and 2 mg on days 15 to 20. Take it at the same time each day. Some practitioners go as high as 5 to 10 mg, but 1 to 2 mg is the usual range. A 20 mg oral capsule a day is the oral form for people who avoid needles.
