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.

Here’s the thing. Her doctor should have already switched her to the pill form. She should not have to be asking people on forums as to how to taper. If the doctors are going to prescribe these meds they need to know exactly what to do when it’s time to come off. This is a major major problem. Almost all suffer from their doctors lack of knowledge when it comes to physchiatric medication. These doctors can put us disastrous situations that affect us for years.
