HI Dreamer

You are right to be sceptical of your Dr's instructions. We see this so often. Drs just don't get it. Apparently the drug companies don't tell them :angry:

You could try dropping 10mg in one go and see how it goes. If that doesn't work then go slower, maybe by dropping 5mg. It is better to stay on a steady dose for a while before dropping again rather than keep dropping. These drugs chemically alter the way the brain functions and it needs time to get used to a reduced dose (ie., heal) before doing it again. The general recommendation is to wait 3-6 weeks for any wdl symptoms to subside.

Best of luck
Junior
