No, it may make matters worse Margaret. If you ever need to change dose do it gradually, because Mirt is a very powerful med which requires a slow titration. Usually its best to change no more than 10%, even after only 7 weeks.
Maybe when you see your doctor you could discuss taking 7.5 mg, it really is good for insomnia at that dose, in fact the lower doses are more sedating. So if you change dose you might want to buy a pill cutter, and work it out that way. Hope your doc doesn't suggest an increase ... (!)
Wishing you well

Hi Marg
It is possible to taper down uusing a liquid method. You might want to switch over to Mirt' Sol Tabs from youur doctor, which are easier to work with. Click on my name and follow the leads under my status, lots of info there which might help. x
