Should I ask for a lower dose? Is there a lower dose than 5mg?

I suppose it depends on the medicine, but I take half of a 2.5 mg tablet of Lisinopril. So my dose is only 1.25 mg. Works perfectly for me. You can also get a pill cutter to cut your 5mg tablet in half if it is a tablet.

Thanks for that information. I am going to go to see dr on Friday to discuss further.
