Weighing did not work for me either. I found it worked well to open capsule and remove and throw away 2 white pebbles/spansules out of each capsule for the next month.
After that month take out 4 white pebbles from each capsule for the next 30or 60 days.
Then when you feel level and adjusted. Take out 5 out of each for next month and so on and so on. It takes many months to wean down but it’s better than experiencing the withdrawal symptoms. Have patience.

If you look at the research, you are decreasing the dose in the wrong direction. One should start by removing more beads in the beginning (no more than ten percent) and reduce by fewer and fewer beads over time. If you think about it, this makes sense because removing more and more beads would mean you are decreasing the dosage by a larger percentage of the drug, which is not what you want to do. See this link for a better explanation:
