You are just about all set to start from the sounds of it! I'm using Emsam 9, and found I can take 1000mg dlpa, no ill effects on blood pressure. Very modest boost, and I mean MODEST. I started with 500mg. I suppose I could go ahead and experiment with higher than 1000mg, but this combo is still new to me, so another increase hasn't felt to be the right thing to do just yet. It's only been less than a week for me with this combo, and I am thrilled to say I can already feel a difference. I was using plain 'ole l-phenylalanine before, and that was helpful, but mostly ho-hum. On another thread, (current- over on the alternative board), a poster advised me that I can probably expect to feel progressively better over time from this new combo. I'm very excited about it!In the past, with the plain l-phenylalanine, I carefully opened up the capsules and spilled out some of the contents, then put the capsules together again. I did that so I could test out smaller amounts, see what would happen. Like you, I wasn't able to find smaller dose capsules at the store. Perhaps this opening and splitting is something you might be interested to try, at least once or so, to err on side of extreme caution?
Good luck!!!
