Sounds like you may be trying to quit to quickly. Take your time getting off this medication. Going slow and you will decrease your chances of withdrawal. I wouldn’t take this medication on an every other day basis. Slow and consistent is your best hope to avoid withdrawal symptoms. This medication has such a short half life taking a 100% dose then a 50% cut back to 100% etc doesn’t sound like it will work. If that’s what your going to do I wish you luck.
Hang in there,
Jake

Any recommendations on the percentage of cutbacks on alternate days, Jake?
