        You can do whatever you want…results may vary though 😁

        I am not a doctor, but have been told by GPs and Pharmacists in the past to increase dosages over the recommended on the packet. I’m not a small person, and the doses on packets are very conservative. Not something one should do regularly, but on as needed basis.

          ^^ this.

          The recommend dosages have massive safety tolerances built in, you can eat a whole box of them will just hallucinate with no lasting problems.

          The one regular medication to never to do this with though is paracetamol (Panadol / Tylenol). Never take more than 8 a day. Your liver only has enough of a particular enzyme to process that much in 24 hours without causing damage. It’s surprising that it’s legal to buy tbh, that stuff is dangerous.
