Hi,
My first reaction was that 7.5 mg was a mighty low dose. And yes, splitting them is difficult, even with a pill splitter they tend not break not exactly in half and you get a lot of dust.
I started at 45mg a day. 15mg three times a day and I am extremely med sensitive also. I am glad I did start at 45 - it kicked in at that dose at about week 6. If I had started at a lower dose, it would have taken much longer to kick in and I'd just now be reaching therapeutic levels.
Personally, I wanted it work as quickly as possible so I wanted to start at 45. My pdoc originally thought I might need to be on 60 but I've done fine on 45.
The effect it has is definitely time related. The lower the dose, the longer it is going to take before you feel better.
