Started out at 2 mg a day then dropped down to 1 mg a day and then finally went down to 1 mg every 4 days. The reason for decreasing the dosage was that I had vision problems. It is hard to describe. I guess it is similar to an LSD trip. Everything was whitish and flashing. It started in the middle of my vision and then gradually moved off to the sides of my peripheral vision. Weird huh? It occurred in occasional episodes and lasted about a half an hour. But now that I'm taking 1 mg every 4 days it is perfect. No vision trouble and no hot flashes. Also it should be preventing osteoporosis although I have yet to have a bone density exam. I probably should have one done in the near future. Hope that helps you out. BTW I am curious as to whether anyone else taking estrogen has had the same experience with the vision issue.
