You have to be consistent and slow is better.  It takes the body about 4 days or so to adjust to any change.  We can't post taper info, but I hope I have helped a little.

Hi , Don't know much about your drug , But tapering to 1/2 dose is way to much to fast , You are in unneeded W/D .

a good tapering plans works .
If your interested in my taper plan message me and i will tell you what i did
and how it went ... Ron
