      That's ok, thanks for explaining that. 5mgs is such a small dose so it sounds as though it just wasn't enough but then 10mgs sounds as though it's too much. Is there any way you can cut one of the tablets in half and try 7.5mgs?

      I would speak to your doctor because he may be able to prescribe something else.
