Hi and thank you for your post.If you have been taking a medication for a while, the advice for a taper is to go low and slow.
Talk about how you feel with your psychiatrist. You can always go back to the last dose that worked and then try again. None of us have the same chemistry. Neither the doctor or their patient know what will happen with a dose change.
Good luck with hitting your target of ground zero🦘
You might get a pill cutter at your pharmacy and cut the pill into smaller pieces.
