Best w/ Dr's help: It's best to work w/ the Dr (they're responsible!) but if you can't, go slow and careful! Drop dose by .5 mg per week at the fastest. If you are'nt comfortable, give it 2 wks for each drop. The risk of seizure is serious, so be careful to recognize even small odd feelings and see a Dr quickly if needed. It's good to get off safely and learn now for future. Always ask about end game up front!
