I've only been doing this for a week. I started out three days, took a one day break, did one day took a break and I'm back on for today.

Does anyone have general advice about how long to go before taking a break and how long one's breaks should be.

I was wondering if I started taking my breaks too soon? Maybe I should go a week and then take a break? I partly did the breaks early on because taking this makes me sooo nervous due to some of the posts here and the discomfort of my doctor. Also the fact that it is supposed to be 'habit forming.' But it doesn't seem to be affecting me adversely--just the opposite. However, I don't want to develop a habit or have any withdrawal symptoms.

I'm on 30 mgs. I'm losing weight incredibly slowly but I tried to take that as a good sign kinda (that I'm not traumatizing my body at least).
