I agree. Dosages are often "standardized" without regard to individual patients' sensitivities/response. Discuss with your doctor the possibility of starting out on a much lower dose - maybe even "as needed" (if your pain is not constant) - and titrating upward until you reach an acceptable balance of relief vs. side effects.
