Definitely going to go the dissolving route if I can't get a proper taper. Made a doctor's appointment. Thankfully I have enough pills to last me till then (not skipping a day). I only tried that because I felt ready to step down again. Two weeks seemed to have been enough to step down to 37.5mg. I just got new insurance so I'll ask them about compounding pharmacies.
It was the drop to nothing that did it. I guess juice will go on my shopping list, along with a graduated cylinder. Feels a little bit like I'm planning to make drugs lol. Hopefully it dissolves nice and evenly so I don't have to try to swallow a paste. It's why I find vitamin powders gross - the gritty stuff at the bottom of the glass that is important but hard to get it all.
@texasduchess has a good tapering suggestion.
Her post, I believe is on page 197.
Atta girl Tex,
