    Hey hannah.

    You should space your tapering dosage wise four days a time. This allows the body time to adjust to the new amount. Any quicker than this and you risk feeling terrible, and slower and you risk caving in. But 4 days seems to be the amount im tapering myself and once I'm done with this i plan on posting a gigantic essay on exactly how I did it my methods etc. The hypocrisy is that I work in addictions.

    But as specifics are concerns in regards to what you take, what you should taper by, i recommended being realistic, not tapering too rapidly, or nit too slowly . For the initial part of it you should taper for four days, give you a chance to adapt before going lower. I actually have tapered to my new lower dose for 6 days, as i have a physical job and simply couldnt deal with withdrawals. After this I will go four days.

    Good luck , I Hope you manage.
