Talk to your doctor.: Never lower your medication unless supervised by your doctor. You are on it for a good reason. If you need less of it your doctor will tell you how to safely lower it, Please do not do this on your own! You don't want to go back to the way you were off the medication!

ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN: I would not change medication dose without first consulting the prescribing physician. This would be a huge error.
