I dont see why not, speak to your pdoc 1st but it is common practice for "sensitive" individuals like yourself to be titrated up in weekly 5mg dosages, this should hopefully enable you to get up to the level you were at and then by then hopefully increase further-its abit of a guessing game tho!!

what dosage were you getting results at??
