Firstly speak to your dr, you should then taper down over a few weeks. HTH

Yes as per other reply check with GP first then slowly over several weeks cut back. You will soon know if your mental state can take it or not depending on any mental episodes. Sadly for me it was too soon to cut back and had too many episodes so went back up to 3 capsules a year later I tried cutting back again and it worked. If you cut back too quick you will get dizzy spells, hot flushes and headaches. So go slow.
