Good morning Doorman,
The first mistake of the day you made was to ask me a math question, lol
I'm far from a math expert so I'd talk to a pharmacist. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't much help. They may think of any advice as a potential liability issue.
Are you going to crush the beads into a powder? I think your new dose would be 0.0675g, is that right? If so does your scale measure such a small amount. Have you considered stepping down to 37.5mg just to see how it goes?

I was not thinking of crushing the beads. They have a timed release coating that would be compromised. I thought it would be a matter of weight, depending on how much , for example, 75 beads weigh. Don’t know if the scale will work....just bought it on Amazon. As far as 37.5, I’ll talk to my Psychiatrist on Nov. 8. Ps.....I also hate math!
