Normally I would say don't ask such a question on the internet, but ask your
doctor as this is always best. If you are a student, you may have a student
health service and may be able to ask a doctor for little or no cost. This
would of course be best.

But I know how it is to be a student, so following is some "budget"
information (keep in mind you get what you pay for). Seems to me from
reading the following, for "some" people, a lower dosage may work, but it
may not work for everyone. People are different.
