Hi
Has anyone got any advice on weening off 5mg? I plan to do it within a few months as I have gone from 20mg a few years ago n slowly reduced.
Thank you
I weaned off 5mg some years ago (after reducing from 20, 15, 10). My last 5mg I couldn’t cut any smaller so I crushed it and took half the powder (2.5mg) each day and stayed on that dose for about 6 weeks. Following that I took 1.25mg for another 6 weeks, and then 1.25mg every other day for a couple of weeks then every 3 days etc etc until I was on 1.25mg once a week. Then I stopped.
Long and drawn out but it meant I didn’t have any withdrawal effects.
You won’t obviously get an even amount of powder each day, but what you take one day then the next day will make up for it.
Thanks Kate. Your advice always helps. I’ll definitely try that.
