This is really a matter you're eventually going to have to discuss with your doctor if it's too much for you to cope with. In any event, don't ever be afraid to tell your doctor how you really feel because it's your body not his, that may have to go through withdrawals in the end.

If for any reason he doesn't adjust the dosage to your specific needs then he doesn't care how you feel and you have the right to change doctors to someone else who does care.

Just a thought, but in the meantime can't you just take some pills out of the container, leave them at home, and then show the doc what's left in there? If I was in your situation this is what I would do until I was able to sit down and get personal with the doctor.

Keep in mind though that there is really no way a doctor can know ahead of time how any medication can affect anyone. They can only assume that it will be fit for each patient based on medical records, current health, age, what the condition is, whether or not any other medications are being taken at the same time, etc. Any of these factors as well as others can affect how you respond to this drug.

I hope this helps!
