It is possible to do. Be aware that the beads inside a capsule may differ in number, they also differ in size. It is tedious to count them, and to return them to empty capsules before taking. But it is possible if one is sufficiently motivated.

I find it less difficult to weigh than titrate. I don't return them to their capsule, I just tip them down my throat with a drink.
I understand the capsule contents do vary in weight which is a problem. Viatris is the marketing provider in uk. They insist all the capsules are identical in their drug load.....
I am on venlablue minus one mini tablet, each of which is 12.5mg. I can't take 12.5 steps, too big!; I tried cutting one of the mini tablets - never again. One is one eighteenth of my dose of 225 mg.
It took me months to reach 212.5mg. I was reducing with Efexor and that was rocky.
I've tried efexor tapering a few times since then but I can't make transfer from 212.5 venlablue.
Anyone have any thoughts on that please?
All I have to do is deduct one sixth from Efexor 75mg, the same as the current mini tablet taken from venlablue.
Thank you!
