I'm down to a quarter mg daily from 1mg. I had half mg tabs and took 1 in AM and 1 in PM. Then went to 1 in AM and a half in PM for about 3 months. Then went to just 1 daily but did half in AM and half in PM for about 3 months. I'm now at just the half in the AM. I mainly need them before trips on the interstate, thunderstorms and hurricanes. Since retiring I don't have the stress and anxiety that was work related. They are to keep anxiety level down because I have heart palpitations too.
