Does dry mouth, light headed and dizziness go away in time?

I'd discuss it with your doctor. Some people are just very sensitive, even with small doses. It could be something else. It's hard to say.

7.5 is already a pretty low dose, mom started at the recommended starting dose of 15 and is now on 30.

I am also pill sensitive, so what my primary doctor does is order the lowest dosage possible, and then has me break that in half. I try that half dosage for a week or two, and if there are no major side effects, then I try the full dosage.

If I have an issue with half a low dosage, then on to pill #2 to try. Sometimes it takes a half dozen pills before I get one that I am happy with.

Sometimes the side effects come from the fillers used in pills to make them large enough to handle... then there are the binders that keep the pill together.... then in some pills there is the coating to help make it easier to swallow. Any one of those items could make you pill sensitive, too.

NOTE: when you find a pill that works, make sure you ask the druggist to refill the bottle using the same pharmaceutical manufacturer. Each manufacturer has their own fillers, binders, and coatings.

My mom has trouble with many meds too. She had trouble with antidepressants particularly, so her doctor prescribed a liquid form so that she could use just a drop of it per day and gradually build up to a therapeutic dose. That seems to have worked well.

Hey I just looked up that drug since I had never heard of it. The website Drugs.com says to call your doctor if you have any of the HUGE list of side effects, your side effects being on the list I noticed. Just saying...... whoa.

The first week or so my mom was on it she was obviously suffering from some side effects, but as her body adjusted she actually seemed much better than she had been for a long time. Hope it helps you too!
