1)  Weigh 10 tablets to get an average weight.

 

2)  The amount of weight you reduce will equal the amount of Valium you reduce.

 

If your tablets weigh .150 grams (150mg), multiply by 2%

 

150mg X 2% = 3mg.

 

Reduce the weight of a tablet by 3mg, you will reduce the dose of V by .1mg or 2%.

Weigh your tablets

 

Multiply the weight by .02.  (calculator, if you need it)

 

Remove that amount of weight, and take the rest.

 

That's a 2% reduction.

So I weigh each tablet individual add the total up then multiple by 0.2?

Then the figure at the end remove off each tablet? God I need a brain it would be a start...

Do I file it off each 2mg pill with an enery board or razor?thank you builder so very much

Weigh 10 tablets  Ex:  1.500 grams

 

Divide by 10.  Ex 1.500/10=.150 grams  This is average tablet weight.

 

Multiply the average weight X .02.  Ex  .150 grams X .02= .003 grams  This is a 2% reduction

 

Subtract the reduction  from the average weight  Ex .150 grams - .003 grams = .147 grams

 

or...

 

multiply the average tablet weight by .98  Ex .150 grams X .98 = .147 grams. 

 

This is the weight your tablet should be after removing 2%
