I'm at a dose of around .25mg every other day right now...and I feel very slight withdrawals around 36-48hrs after dosing. I'm about to jump off, but I just wanted to ask the question, since I really can't confirm that that is even my dose, just an estimate, having broken off tiny crumbs from the pill. I don't have an oral syringe, and don't have anywhere to keep extra powder, if I was to crush it all and evenly create lines or something. Anyone know how to calculate crumb size? lol. Or is this just a stupid pointless question.
 
Dealextreme.com sells scales accurately enough to weigh out 5mg of a substance, for less than 10$ with free shipping. Weight the total pill, and then calculate your dosage based on a percentile.

Yes, the drug should be homogeneously distributed throughout the pills.
 
Yes, it's evenly distributed.

^Although I would guess if he can't even store the powder, he's not going to be able to have a scale around. Plus, your method isn't going to work with a scale that inaccurate. If 5 mg is as precise as the scale gets, taking 0.25 mg off the pill isn't even going to register with that scale.

Unless you buy an analytical, lab grade scale (which goes out to thousandths of a mg, i.e. 0.250 mg), you're not going to be able to measure the crumbs. And honestly even WITH the lab grade scale it won't be all that accurate, not at that tiny amount. The best way to do this is either create a liquid solution, or break it into powder, and measure out lines. You only need a pill bottle to keep the powder in. You can't hide a pill bottle somewhere?

Well I do have an empty pill bottle, I just fear the powder getting stuck on the inner walls, or somehow falling out if it tips over...IDK...powder is just harder to maintain.

To reference the size of the amount I'm using, it's about the size of the flame on the back of a dime...I'm uploading a pic right now, so hopefully someone can help...I'm breaking off from a pill that's about 4-5mg, so I can't really tell. If someone can help, let me know. Thanks.

can i upload pics to the site? it's a pill, with a nickel and penny, for reference purposes.


..the more i think about it, the more pointless it seems to try to get opinions from others on a pic of a pebble of sub...lol. It's pretty much impossible to tell. Oh well. Thanks for the replies! And thanks for the answer to the original question.
