I've been cutting pills for some time. Seems to me that its hard to have the same dosage daily. Anyone have any insight on this?

      Hi Dubry

      How are you feeling on your dose reduction? I am down to 7.5 from 10 for several days now and apart from occasional lightheadedness, feeling good so far.

      I sometimes use a pill cutter but the cut is not even, one side sometimes a bit larger than the other. A tip I took from Lois on here is to use a nail clipper. Be sure you get one with a wide enough opening to take the depth of the pull though.

      I tapered to 15 initially. Stayed there for 6 weeks. Been down to 12.5 for a week now. Have moments but overall, I'm good.
