Metavive and Adrenavive - reducing dose?

I've been taking Adrenavive II (125mg) and Metavive IV (65mg) for the past year and doing very well. I'd come off Cytomel as it was too strong.

Now, I've been getting slightly unwell and 'hyper' symptoms and headaches which for me are signs of overmedicating. There ARE versions of Metavive with smaller doses, one is porcine and one bovine. With the Adrenavive II there's no smaller dose and it's bovine. My questions are a) how should I reduce the Adrenavive dose and b) is it important to keep either all bovine or all porcine? Thanks for any advice :)

I can only answer

a) Open the capsule, tip half the powder into a glass, mix with some orange juice (or something else), reseal the capsule ready for next dose. This is what I did when I started taking it.
