Get a prescription from your doctor to take to the compounding pharmacy. Your doctor and you can decide how you wish to taper. I was told that the longer you taper down the more successful you will be.
Just to let you know that I first called my insurance company to see if they would agree to pay for the taper, as mine will end up costing just under 1,000 Canadian $. They sent me a letter giving permission and I took it to the pharmacy. They will reimburse me for the whole amount.

Oh, lucky you to be in Canada!! I shudder to think of the hoops we'd have to jump through to get that kind of support and service in the U.S. And best of luck on the taper!!
