So you cut in half and again in half?!such small pills!!! :/
How would you recommend I taper the 50 am and 50 pm?
When I started it was 25 at night for 2 weeks, then add 25 am for 2 weeks, then 50 pm for 2 weeks then 50 am…. I’m scared I’m going to have bad side effects!

Have you asked your doctor’s advice for tapering? I tapered gradually to avoid side effects. Could you take 1/4 less of the pm dose for a week or two, then 1/4 less of the am dose for a week or two, continuing this until you are done? It will take a while, but give your body time to adjust. Yes, the pills are small, but I was able to cut them into fourths! I would be interested to know if this works for you. Thankfully, my tremors haven’t gotten any worse since getting off the primidone.
