People get really creative with the strips and even using the tablets to do liquid tapers to get down to doses in the microgram range. For them, they don’t taper and jump off, they more like STEP off. I hear exacto knives and tweezers work well to cut the strips in small pieces. If you jump at 1 mg, you may still feel it. But if you spend some more time and get down below .50 or even .25, chances are you’ll have less discomfort when you do stop altogether.
When it comes to stopping medications that cause withdrawals symptoms, I see it this way, you can’t stop taking them like you would rip off a band-aid, nope, you have to remove it gently, one millimeter at a time so you can barely feel a thing. Same idea when weaning off. You want to remove the medication so slowly and so little at a time that the brain and the receptors barely notice it. If it barely notices it, it won’t react in a negative, sometimes violent way. At least that’s how I see it.
