Can you take a lesser dose? The starting therapeutic dose looks to be 10 mg's. Can you ask your doctor to give them to you in 5mgs pills that would equal 10mgs a day for 30 days. That way you can cut a pill in half if it is a tablet... Is it a tablet? That means you could try 7.5mgs, and if things are going okay, you can even try 5mgs and test that out.

Thanks DT, I'll be seeing my doc in 2 weeks. I'll discuss the possibility of cutting the dose or changing AP completely.
