Did you mean to put this on the existing thread?

No-one here can tell you - you will have to try. It depends on whether you stay at 15mg and go from there or whether you take 15mg for a couple of days and then drop to 10mg for a couple of days and back to 5mg - which you could do.

Ok, if I see a big difference I will base it on the above but if not I will slow down.

Not what you're looking for?
