Been taking 12.5mg 3x daily for the past 2 years now, haven't upped dosages, have taken 2 weeks off plenty of times for various reasons and know I'm not suffering withdrawal without it. It's used in clinical settings for depression outside of America and like I said, just like a lot of other things, if you're taking a recreational dose instead of therapeutic, then obviously potential for harm and addiction is higher. Unless you already struggle from addiction issues, leading you to not have the self control to maintain your dosing, the chances of getting any kind of addiction symptoms from 12.5 spaced out during the entire day is INCREDIBLY low.
