Need help with the numbers.

Math is NOT my thing. Here's my plan and need to know if I'm making sense or if someone has a better plan.

I'm presently at 1 mg and my goal is to reduce to .5 mg. If I take .25 mg and mix with 28 ml of liquid (I'll be taking the .75 mg as whole tablets) and remove 1 ml, then 2 ml, etc for 28 days, that'll get me to .75 mg at what I think is a slow taper. And then I'd do about the same for the next .25 mg, all depending of how I feel.

 

I welcome all feedback. Thanks.

I think that is a huge jump for you! Are you over the shingles? Remember, going to .25mg from 1mg is a 25% cut. Way too much. You want to go to .5mg right away? It might be good to do a DLMT. A DLMT allows you to make small cuts and not having waste any. You don't have pull off anything.

A 5-10% cut is safer way to go. You just had to up dose because your cut was too much.

I am sure Builder who the math expert can formulate a titration for you. It is very easy to do. I don't get the way that you are describing it. I would wait and get some help here. Why the big rush? It puts a lot of stress on the body as I stated in another post. Shingles can be a result.

A 10% taper would be .1mg. That is a lot more reasonable than 25%. You will be in same boat as you just were. There is no way to rush this process unless you want to have a lot of symptoms. Just trying to help here and prevent you from suffering.

After I posted I realized I was off. Thanks. I still need help with the math part. As I said, I'm not good with the math.

Thanks.

I am ok at math, but Builder can help you with the calculations and get you on track. I made a mistake back in June with the math. Decimal point error and cut by .5mg in 5 days. That was from 1.75mg. I was feeling rough for a while because of that. Builder got my titration straightened out and I am doing well now.

Maybe that's what I did wrong my first go around in 2015. I did send Builder a message. Thanks. I so want to get this right this time.

You will get it right and should have a smoother ride down. No need for undue suffering, especially when you have shingles! Yikes! Take it easy on yourself.

I'm not good with math either, especially in my old age, so  I used Jim Hawk's plan where it was all figured for me after I plugged in the parameters.  It's ingenious, I think, but I know builder makes the calculating simple.  So, whatever works for you.

Thanks! Builder helped me, but will check out the link you thoughtfully shared.

Oh, good.  He really knows his stuff.
