For me The cut from 75 to 37.5 was the hardest and in retrospect I would not have cut by that much.. I don’t know your background but I had been on for 22 years.. so a 50% reduction brought out my worst..out and was the most intense..

Now having said this, Its important to realize that it’s temporary and will pass. Especially when it doesn’t feel like it in the moment..

Thank you for this!

I completely agree that it is a huge jump! I Actually have done it before I was pregnant with my daughter and it was ok for me!

I definitely won’t be doing 37.5 to 0. I will be tapering from 37.5.

I feel better today. It’s been 3 days on 37.5 and it’s going well! Listening to my body and making sure it can handle it!

Thanks for all the tips and advice!
