Hi everyone,
Just want to post how my taper is going. It is going well and much of that is from what I have learned on this site. I am now down to 3.75 mg a day and so far it has been very comfortable. Once I switched from the film to the tabs, things got so much better. As I said in another thread, I wasn’t absorbing the film at all and also I had developed some sort of oral infection from the film. I’m making really small decreases of 0.25 mg about every 2 weeks so that averages out to 0.5 a month. I’m not in a hurry and so far, I’ve had few symptoms and the worst of what I had- the ringing in my ears and the tremors have greatly diminished. I know the hard part is yet to come, but I am encouraged. The down side is that I have a pain condition and just not sure yet what I’ll be on for pain that will be better for me. So just wanted to update. Life is a little calmer right now and again, thanks for the support. I hope this journal will help others too.
