Different weight

[[Ch...]]

I weighed several pills from my new prescription and they are all different. How can I taper properly or do the math. Can someone help me. 

[[al...]]

Weigh 10 tablets on your scale and divide by 10 .  That will be a the average weight per pill.  Then taper based on that average weight.  My tablets averaged out to 0.170 per tablet.  So I base my taper calculations on that weight

Will I need to do every time I get a new brand. I get what i get now. 

[[mi...]]

Some of the brands were the same, Teva and accord weigh the same, Roughly .172g. Advagen and Solco are different.

Can someone help me please. I was doing ok with my calculation but now with the new brand I am scared to updose. I need help please. 

[[Ch...]]

I can even tell what brand it is. 

[[mi...]]

You don’t need to know the brand you just need to know the weight.

Is safer to crush the tablets, mix the powder and put in a veggie cap ?

I heard that the active ingredient it’s not equally spread so doing this might help a bit.

I’ve been weighting 10 tablets make the math and tapered this way my antidepressant, also did the same with V, but did hold it until I was done with the antidepressant.

 

Since September started the V taper as well (just 2 months after antidepressant, I know maybe to early) and I am tapering with this method of powder in capsule.

How are your symptoms?

Sleep disturbance (urge to pee), extreme panic, deppresion, blurred vision, tingling in the skin.

Did not have pretty much any of the above before the meds or benzo cuts.

So everyone says the active ingredient is not equally distributed but nobody has proof. All k can say is I dry cut pills of K and if I vary my cut as much as 1% I feel it big time. So I would have to say the pills are fairly uniform. I mean they mix the stuff in a giant that before they inject the pills into the machines, they don’t literally mix each pill individually so once they punch the pills it’s not like they forgot to put some of the active ingredient in 1/2 of the pill. It’s like a giant cake batter. There’s not any more egg in one part of the batter than the other part. Once it’s been mixed together, it’s all spread relatively uniform. Like I said, I can tell the difference between holding and a one percent cut with my super accurate skill that I paid $1500 for so if it wasn’t uniform then I wouldn’t be able to tell differences like that.

If I made 2 5 percent cut already where do I pick up where I was in my tapef

Where did you buy your scale. Could I travel with it 

[[Ch...]]

I just need to understand where to go with new weight. I am in my second cut how do I proceed in the taper?  

[[mi...]]

No you can’t travel with a lab grade scale. It’s the size of a large kitchen blender. The small scales on Amazon you can travel with.

@[Ch...] I already explained how to do this as clearly as I can. There is simply nothing more i can possible add to make it clearer. I’m sorry. I feel like we’ve been down this road before where you ask a question and get 100 of the same answers and still ask the same question. I have no way of making it clearer. I’m sorry. Not trying to be rude but I can’t say the same thing over and over and have the result come out differently.
