I would like your weaning schedule if you don't mind. Did you have any abdominal pain? I realize everyone is different. Congratulations for tapering successfully.

If you look at my response above, you’ll see what I did after the doses you’re on now.
After the half pill, then quarter pill ever other day, you’d do quarter,(.125) quarter, half, quarter, quarter, half etc for about two to three weeks. Then a quarter pill every day for two to three weeks. Then quarter, no pill, quarter, no pill for two to three weeks.
Then quarter, no pill, no pill….
Again two to three weeks.
Then done!
