I have been taking 1200 mg per night for about a year now, and its been working very well for me overall. The only thing is--sometimes I feel it is a bit too much in terms of feeling groggy during the day, etc. and it takes me a while to get going and fully wake up.

I want to try decreasing to 900 mg or 600 mg over the next 6 months or so.

I currently only have 300 mg capsules. Would it be hard to try dropping to 900 mg from 1200 mg capsules (my doctor initially suggested that) but I am worried that 300 mg for one titration interval is too much.

Is it best to get 100 mg capsules for a taper? like dropping 100 mg a week or every two weeks?

Only problem is that then I would be taking up to 12 capsules a day for a while...
