No need to feel daunted by “counting” beads. Remember, you don’t actually have to count the beads in every single capsule. Just count the beads that you take OUT of the capsule. So for example, at first I took out five every single day for about three weeks, until I felt my body was used to the lower dose. You shouldn’t feel a thing, and if you do, stay on whatever dose you’re down to longer until the symptoms go away. It’s quite easy.

And I felt more in control this way.

Remember, XR means extended release. Those little beads are made to enter your system slowly. I wouldn’t add any more change to your meds since you take several.
