I just wanted to get some opinions, thoughts on how do you know where you land concerning sub dosing? Drs typically prescribe to much on beginning (in my experience) , so it's been left up to me to tweak my dose to what I feel best on. My question is; is there a smoking gun so too speak something that definitively says aha, I've taken too much, or not enough?:?
 
If you're sick, not enough, if you're not, you're good.

Start with what your best estimate would be for a tolerance equivalent dose (if not just start at 0mg) and just go up in dose increments of like 2 mg (quarter of an 8mg pill) and you'll be fine- just wait about 2 hours after every redose so you know the sub is completely in your system before taking more to be sure you're not taking too much.
