I've been on 0.5mg for a couple of years but recently couldn't get any. A friendly pharmacist advised me to ask my doctor to prescribe the 0.25mg version as that's still available. I did that and now have several months in stock. Apparently it's frowned upon, but if you need it, and it works for you then I can't see why you should switch to another less effective medication.
