Percentage Question

[[sa...]]

What is the percentage of a .0625 cut of 1.0 mg?

 

And how do I find this out?

 

I did the 1.0 X 5 % on a calculator and is came to .05 so is the .0625 a little bit higher than 5 % ?

 

Or am I missing something?

do you need to take 5% off a dose of 1 mg? if so than you are correct and at that should be ok.

[[Cl...]]

Yes, you are right, 0.0625mg cut from 1mg is 6.25% and 0.05mg cut is 5%.

The way: 0.0625mg/1mg x 100.

Thanks. I hear 5-10% cuts or OK so I should be fine. I won't make another cut until a week though, but planning ahead.

 

I am concerned about the .0625 cuts when I get closer to .5 mg though because the cuts will be greater than 10%.

 

But others have said they have been OK with the .0625 linear cut.

What do you mean by .0625/1mg x 100? I tried looking at my calculator, but it does not have the / on it.

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

.0625/1 means .0625 divided by 1.

Have you seen the plans for dry cutting smaller amounts? someone posted them to me last year. I just cut off .03125 from .5 you can make fractions ranging from .03125 highest, to .0078 lowest. I might have it copied on my computer or it may be in general plans?

 

Not really trusting my ability to keep the stupid piles straight even though I have them marked so this will get interesting here soon!

[[sa...]]

No, I have not seen it. Could you point me in the right direction please?

Use this...much easier.

Thanks and congrats on your jump!

 

How you doing so far?

were your cuts all dry? Those look like big cuts? Plus you jumped off at a rather large amount? I am curious too!

 

I will try to find the full instructions that I use, but to start

 

I have .5 mg tabs. I wanted less than 10% cut so My current dose is .46875 by taking .03125 off.

 

I do this by cutting tabs in half then crushing the half ( equals .125 mg) split into 8 piles and then each dose is .03125.

 

When I get lower I will cut those into 16 piles, then 32 for .0156 and later .0078. have not done it yet to see how crazy tiny that is! I might resort to a scale at that point!

[[sa...]]

Those are some very tiny cuts. Do you use a straw to suck them in?

 

It's good to know that's an option as I go down. Right now I am just eyeballing it and not using a scale.

 

I lost some confidence in my last cut, which I think was mostly in my head and not real symptoms, and then started messing around with my daily schedule.

 

I am trying to get back on track and hope to make my next cut soon.

Saul u asked how i was doing...Im about the same as when tapering i guess. Maybe an increase in some things but nothing really new.

Thanks for asking...

[[sa...]]

That's good to hear man!

 

That is what I hope what happens when I jump. No real increase in symptoms or just a slight increase. Best case scenario. Maybe that is more common than we realize, but people just don't post as often when they have no huge increase in acute symptoms.

 

Congrats again and thanks for the info.

Just wondering - How often do you cut. Every two week? Every Month? - Its something I am struggling with- cut- 10 percent a month- moved now to ten percent every 3 weeks and wonder what other people are doing.

Thanks! If anyone else would be willing to share how they tapper- percent- per period of time- it would give me some idea how others are doing it- although as we all know everyone is different- and I do try to listen to my body.

Thanks!

You say you taper 10% a month.  Why not try 2.5% a week?  Or better yet break that 10% into 30 days and cut .33% per day.  I think you will feel a lot better if you this.

If you have .5 mg tabs, and you crush them in half, then isn't that .25 for each half? Rather than .125?

 

Maybe I'm not following what you're saying.

Nope adds to the dope fiend feeling, have to lick my finger

yes .5, then i cut in half then into 1/4 based on quantity needed. I should not try to post when on worst days, will look for those original directions later this week. Think someone said summermeadow posted them somewhere.

I understand what you are saying now, butterfly. 

 

I was actually questioning myself thinking I was cutting wrong.

 

I do the same thing.  Crush the tablets into powder, and then lick my finger and the powder sticks to it, and then put it in my mouth.

great feeling huh?! My daughter (18) was home from college yesterday and I didn't want to hide what I am doing, she needs to know and this will be going on for so long. So I emphasized how disgusting it felt to be licking drugs off a plate!
