A dosing instruction written for pain treatment cannot tell you whether dependence, addiction, or another concern is present. Your experience matters more than a number alone. Useful assessment looks at changes in control, cravings, withdrawal concerns, effects on responsibilities and relationships, and whether use continues even when it is causing harm in your life or no longer feels aligned with your intentions.
