Can those who've done a Daily Titration shaving pills step forward?

[[dp...]]

As some may or may not know, I'm going to be in a holding pattern for a while until I'm stable enough to cut and/or I realize that I'm as stable as I can get.

 

My question, and I'm not sure if this is the best place for these people to see, is, are there people who I can look to who've done a daily pill shaving taper all the way off successfully?

 

I look to Diaza-pam as great hope for me going forward, and I'd love to make the last 2/3rds of my taper less hell and more tolerable... I don't care how long it takes.

 

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Not off yet but am at about .21 mg K twice daily, cutting and shaving off .001g to .002 g per day. So far, so good. If the scale wavers a bit, I take the lower number. Did a mass cutting of halves that were then shaved into estimated amounts, put in pill containers. With daily cutting I'm finding it easier to tolerate symptoms to a point that I just keep moving forward. I may need to hold around Christmas but that's a female cycle issue which majorly effects my taper—not something you have to worry about. Any of this help?

All of it. Thank you!

 

Also, found this video which gave me confidence.

Yes, that video was got me started. Very good.

 

I have improvised a bit. I use the pill cutter to roughly half the pill. Then I actually cut more off using  a razor that's in a window scraper, on the cushiony pill cutter platform so pills and bits don't fly everywhere (thank god I don't have a dog). If I need to shave, I do it over paper and toss the shavings. But if I have little shards, I keep them in separate sealed container (don't leave in cutter cuz it'll absorb moisture), in case I cut a pill too much and need to add back. It has made a difference if the forced air heat is on or off, if the table isn't level, if the lid is open or closed, if someone walks into a room. This is why I try to do a bunch of pills at once so it doesn't become a freaking ritual.

 

Good luck, amigo! It can be done.

This thread has put my mind VERY much as ease. I appreciate it Bennie.

 

I also keep the little shards, and had been worrying about drug breakdown if they are cut, little differences in weight amongst pills, etc... and you really made a difference for me. Thank you.
