It can be frustrating finding it in reasonable doses. I remember reading somewhere that the original formula was quite a small dose and other manufacturers simply increased the dose to get around the patent. Naturally, people showed a preference for the higher doses because they assumed it must be better, despite a lack of evidence. As a result, manufacturers making pills with a more reasonable dose were less likely to sell their product and a general trend of increasing doses was observed. This is why it’s easy to find 10-25mg dosed pills in stores, but difficult to find anything sub 3mg, let alone sub 1mg.
