There are a bunch of people who tapered slow and not suffered too much and didn’t have too bad PAWS if you look around.

Low doses need to be split up throughout the day. i.e. : split .75mg into 3 doses of .25mg every 8 hours approx. instead of a single dose and if you are feeling THAT bad, you are going too fast! Feeling bad means your brain is adapting to less sub but the key is to keep it at a level you can tolerate which in my experience gets easier with practice. Your receptors will sort it out but it takes weeks, not days. Rushing to get off sub is going to hurt!

I wrote down my schedule from 8mg to 1mg and then stopped ….but think more along the lines of 2 weeks or even a month rather than 6 days. My average I guess would be something like 3 weeks. The every other day method for me is a cool way to ease in between dose changes. I would do something like 1mg/.75mg/1mg/.75mg for a week or two and see how you are feeling. I identify where you’re at but give it a try, a schedule isn’t going to change anything, it’s about how YOU FEEL
