I’m not so sure that starting with a small dose (of anything) and working your way up is a good idea. Better to just stay away.

The problem with starting small is that you may be lulled into a false sense of security. You’ll think, “That wasn’t so bad, I can handle that.” But then your next dose, even if just slightly larger than the last, maybe even if smaller, might propel you further and deeper than you could imagine, and then it would be too late.

Be very careful.
