Thanks for that feedback. I will experiment with dividing my dose as well. What proportion of your total dose is 30mg?
 
And do you still have some symptoms with a steady BP around 100-110/60? I started to get bad symptoms around that mark, and have fallen below 100 systolic only a few times. I guess tolerance for low BP may vary according to the individual.
