I also did a slow taper like toxic.....the mental was the beast part of it....my physical symptoms were minimal though....again I struggled mentally still do...but that is just part of addiction. Best of luck to you! Sounds like you are doing well already. JoAnn

I did a slow taper...the wds were minimal...you will still have them..but you shoudl be able to work and do anything else you need to do.

When I got down to 2,  I started breaking them in half and taking one half every six hours.Or you could do it w/ the 3 pills a day and take 1/2 pill every 4 hours.( 3 pills = 6 halves.  24 hrs. divided by 6 halves is one half pill every 4 hrs.) It is kind of a slow burn...but I never lost my appetite, never had diarrhea, and never vomited.

I also found working out or going for  a walk helped tremendously with mood and energy.

Good luck...you can do this!!!

If u r comfy at 3 a day then u rmust be doing something right!  i have heard if u go real slow...it can be minimal but u will still feel a bit uncomfy...toxic did a slow taper and she is on right now...she would know...good luck...for me 99% of all of this mental and not physical but i tapered quickly due to i was just so tired of it....u are doing it the smart way and i admire ur discipline
