Please talk to your doctor about it. My doctor was fine prescribing the tablet vs the capsule. I didn't notice a difference. I tapered very very slowly...took me a year. Even at 1/4 of the lowest dose tablet, the symptoms were rough. But I finally did it in January and have been fine since. I think I felt ill for about 3 weeks and then it finally lifted off of me: nausea, weird brain buzzing type feeling, fatigue, etc. I informed my husband what I was doing and slept ALOT. Golden milk helped me with the nausea. You can find recipes for it online. I hope that helps and best wishes with your tapering off.
