I agree that seeking the lowest effective dose is ideal, but you cant get addicted to something you dont take constantly, so taking it for specific purposes and having constant breaks from it ensures you're not in the addiction cycle. Taking it daily is exactly how you'd end up requiring a higher dose. I dont think our hearts should be pumping 120bpm all the time either lol. An interesting experment would be measuring your BPM carefully on and off the meds. For me it was what got me to cut down and eventually get off them and use other management strategies. Im glad I had them, really helped me build a life where I dont need them at all.
