I found that if I didn’t have skip days but instead took a smaller dose every day.
Example; taking 1/2of the 37 mg dose every day instead of 37 every other day is MUCH better.
I hope this helps. Hugs.

Ps. I just opened the capsule a poured out half. Easy peasy.

Thank you for your encouragement. Unfortunately, I have a 37.5 extended release tablet-- not the capsule. I have a message in to my doctor though and am curious if she could order the capsule for me. How long did you take 1/2 of the 37mg? I am seriously considering just going off of it altogether, but also know this is probably not a good idea. Everything I read says, "don't rush it." Thanks again for your encouragement and input.
