I am finding this reduction gets harder as the days go on.Now i am on mostly 9mg days and less 10mg days. But my shoulders are swelling more and i seem to be more agitated, also my hips ache, there is one plus, while i am still having pains and aches in my temple and at back of the ears, that seems to be less than at ten, im getting so confused but determined to carry on.
I know this is part and parcel of it, but just wanted to talk about it to somebody who understands. Have a good day all off you, im going to my craft club today looking forward to that.
Your body may not yet be ready to go beyond 9.5mg Margaret - if you were good at alternate days of 10 and 9 then think about staying there for a while before continuing. 10 to 9 is often a sticking point and going extra slowly over the sticky bit often works better.
thank you Eileen, i am going to see my doctor this morning and tell her, do i cut the 1mg tablets in half.
I took my tablet at 7.45 this morning and the swelling has gone down a bit bit still aches.
Once again thank you for your help its appreciated very much
You can do or you could just carry on taking 10mg one day, 9mg the next. That way your body should get more used to the 9mg dose.
I'm trying to remember how long I had the puffy shoulders - quite a long time I think but I suddenly realised all the swelling had gone and I had collarbones again!
