I wind up asking for the lowest possible dose of everything and then breaking it half. Thank you for confirming this for me; I have run into some who get in a huff when I want to start meds low and one at a time. "How can we help you when you won't cooperate...(blah blah)." I want to know how they can help me if they're not listening...who's been walking around in these bodies all this time, anyway?
