Dont skip days. You'll have symptoms every other day because of the short half life of the drug. Better to take out beads so you have a consistent dosage.
The storage in fatty tissues theory seems correct to me. Also I've heard many people say that the withdrawal symptoms are greater the closer you get to the end, with the smaller doses. I don't have any answers but the only thing to do is to become very aware of your body and also develop a lot of patience and self empathy.

I will try that then. Thank you for your reply.

Here I was thinking I was doing really good until the very end when I have been experiencing more withdrawal. I did not know my body would react so strongly when I had reduced down so slowly.
