I have tried cutting of 5MG of my pill and within two weeks I was relapsing

    I was told by a doctor in the UK to not do that.

    I mean never leave a day with no tablet.

    I started reducing like 25mg for a month or so, then 12.5 mg etc....

    Was ok but also weird after I totally stop because of the dizziness

    But I managed ok
