Hi Robin, well.. .my dr was actually gave me the reins so to speak in terms of dosing, either 2-3 x a day. His whole philosophy is to make the taper "humane and comfortable"… and I think with my pain condition he felt the multiple dosing was better.. even while tapering. I was actually doing 2x a day- but because I was rather aggressive in pushing myself to get below the ceiling quickly- I was having substantial w/d symptoms even on this 3mg a day schedule at 2x a day dosing. It was actually hatmaker that shared a recent post with me that Dr. Junig wrote about more frequent dosing when you get down to lower doses. Since I started dosing at the 3x a day schedule I am feeling better. I think my receptors have been so aggravated for so long with the inter dose withdrawal, that the 3x a day is just keeping my receptors more quiet and I am more comfortable now. It’s taken about 12 days at this dose and I am just now feeling ok. So, for me.. this is really going to take a slow taper. I’d love to know more about what the naturopathic physicians are saying. Thanks for your support and wishing you the best. Please keep all options open too… if the rapid detox feels to quick. I’m learning from this great forum how we really have to nurture ourselves, and keep all options open on the path to a successful taper.
