I was prescribed 5 mg, which I split occasionally at first to 2.5 mg to see how I would react. I think, but not sure, the lower dose may not be as effective anymore for me.

I am building tolerance to it. 2.5 mg only last for about 3 hours. Need to take 2.5 mg twice at night to get some sleep. In the day time, I take 500mg of Tylenol as needed. It does help some.
