It is amazing how little can be just as efffective as quite a bit more.
With a drug of a different class which I use rarely, I was given 10 mg
tablets with the general dosage 3 times a day. Through trial and error
I found about 1 mg once a day, perhaps 3 times a week *when* I need it,
is sufficient to accomplsh what I need. Then I found I could grind the
five sided tablet in a mortar and pestle, since trying to split it was
resulting in more powder than tablet anyway. The only drawback;
sometimes it tastes of too much cumin seed.
