I was splitting my dose in anticipation of being asked to lower my dose and also to try to alleviate some acid reflux issues...15+10 didn't work to alleviate the pain so I tried 20+5 and 15+5+5. I think the 25mg is the minimum I need to get the pain down to a functional level. I'm trying 20mg with breakfast and 5mg with lunch but that didn't work for me yesterday. I probably should be on 30mg but that could come with more or stronger side effects and more difficulty tapering down. I think I'm stuck where I am until I see the hematologist on the 22nd to see what else is going on with me.
