NEVER reduce your medication by 50%, No wonder your sick. You must not have read this thread prior to cutting your dose. If it were me I’d increase your dose until you don’t have any symptoms then start decreasing it SLOWLY!!!
5-10% decrease every couple weeks (at least 2 weeks.) also the higher the dose and the longer you have been on it also has to be factored into the equation.
When you see your doctor I wouldn’t hesitate telling him/her exactly where to put that 50%.
@texasduchess & @grandmar they know first hand what works and what doesn’t.
Best of luck to you,
Jake

Thanks so much Jake, it's almost a week now so I will just keep praying to God for Help. I will mention it to my doctor for sure... Thank you so much! Kim
