Answers:
Dosage varies person to person- when you got the script not only should it state the dosage on the bottle, but you should have also received a pamphlet that contains info about the medication and the dosage. Please call your pharmacist or doctor to confirm what it is.

You should not get advise from youqa.cn. Talk to a her Dr. or call Pharmacist.
Starting doses are usually 0.5-1mg twice daily. The "usual" maintenance dose is 1-6mg per day, in single or divided doses. It also depends on whether it is being used alone or in combination with other medications.
Your dose should be whatever your doctor prescribed, and no changes should ever be made to your dose by anyone but your doctor. If you are not sure how much to take, call your doctor.
