Michele,
On Wednesday, I had to go back to taking it because I could not stand the dizziness anymore. I took 5 mg (half of what I had) that afternoon, then 5 mg again yesterday morning. This morning (Fri) I took a quarter of a pill (which is pretty darn small) and I still feel fine. I will do that for a few more days and if am still fine then, I'll will try stopping.I started getting dizzy the same day I stopped taking it. I was off it for 5 full days and took it after work on day 6. The dizziness went away about an hour and a half to two ours after I took that 5 mg. I am suprized that a quarter of a pill is making a difference. A quarter of a pill is really really small. But then again, today was only my first day on a quarter of a pill. Maybe tomorrow it will catch up to me. I hope I am totally off it with no dizziness by next Saturday because I am going on vacation then. Wish me luck.
