Default Beginning Dosage For Xr?

Just curious what the standard beginning dose is for XR. I'm about to start and was wondering, since it releases slowly, if you can start out at a higher dose and not have side effects?

I started out on 750mg XR. I think your starting dosage depends on your condition. i.e. if you're insulin resistant, how high your testosterone levels are, etc.
