    i would suggest getting liquid and dropping to 1.25 for 4 to 8 weeks then 0.625 for the same alternating doses just confuses the brain.

    that is how i did it.

    I am not surprised in the least Brenda, sorry to say.

    I personally think that cutting the doses in half is still too fast, you need to reduce at a consistent (say 10%) rate each week, but liquid doses are a good suggestion.

    I have PMd you some more info.
