....am afraid my memory is failing me ... but they were 0.5mg every evening for decades althoug new dr now old dr said 8 yrs.. but didnt have my old file.. anyway, nothing precise... I started by trying half a pill that didnt work so it was aboutg 3/4 then half then a quarter but used little pill splitter and sometimes crumbled ... I actually could hardly believe it that I got off them. Originally for sleeping and they should have stopped me after diagnosis of Normal Tension Glaucoma with narrow angles 2018 but when they said no meds that increasae eye pressure daugher iwth me and said Zoloft? and he said yes so i quit cold turkey. But she didnt menhtion Clonazepam which is also risky.... I had a rought ime and the next Feb. a Dr put me back on Zoloft but I also quit it again c.T. I KNOW, i know, it was risky but 2018 Glaucoma news, 4 of a few friends died, I got C.Diff and vancomicin for months and to be honest I never really recovered from that... then covid, then a year of bloody uring and 9 to 12 antibiotics and no wonder my poor little body and brain are fed up.. but keep chugging along. Now only on Synthroid and Monoprost and Imodium. Wish you the besst....it isnt easy .. was it worth it? I dont really know. Hugs

Hooray, good for you. Has anybody out there used a tapering by dropping a pill in water, and then removing a small portion at a time to taper off?
