Micro taper

[[mc...]]

After reviewing all of the types of tapers, I think the micro taper works best for me.

You can see from my signature that that my doctors have had me all over the place with doses of Xanax then Kolonipin. A week ago, my doctor had me dry cut Kolonipin from 2 mg. to .05 3 x a day.  I am taking also take Topiramate 50 mg 2x daily and Buspar7.5 daily.  No  real symptoms day 1-6. At the 7th day, I began to feel the withdraws typically 2-3 hours before the next K.  Internal jitters, anxiety, tremors, weakens, brain fog, nausea etc.  Tompiramate is just a band-aid.  My body is screaming for K.

 

If I am currently at .05 3 times daily, could someone suggest a micro taper schedule for say a month.  I have an excellent compounding drug store and I want to discuss this type schedule with my doctor this Wednesday.  I really would appreciate any help I can get.

Do you mean .5mg three times a day?

 

I usually suggest people begin at 8% a month if they do not know where to begin.  For you, if your dose is 1.5mg, this would be a daily cut of .004mg.  This is a rate that will likely give a good result.  I think it is important to get off on the right foot and have immediate success and confidence in the process.

How would you do a daily cut of .004?

As an example, I'll assume you dose .5mg 3x, all with .5mg pills.  You could put 1.5mg into 150ml liquid to make each ml equal .01mg K.  A .004mg cut would be .4ml on the 1ml syringe.
