I just read your post to my pharmacist son and he said, “Maybe.” From what he knows it has to be very slow, decrease the dosage a very small amount and stay at that for two weeks and then do another very small decrease for another two weeks etc. until you have completely weaned off of it. The decrease amounts and the length of time is trial and error based upon whether you have bad withdrawal symptoms.

Good for you. You took an action to verify things being said here. Hurrah.
Now, many have opened the capsule and started taking some of the beads out each day and decreasing their dosage that way.
.
Go read here until you find that method, or wait till they come and share. Your choice...
