> Hi Kara, I think I agree with you. Will you keep this thread in mind in case I need ya? Brain zaps not as bad, but still more than at the 75 mg. definately irritable. Mood definately down. Not depressed, just down. Doing fairly well looking at the end result and asking God to help me througout the day. Still very doable at this point. Did exercise today for 30min at the gym. Were your pills capsules? Was is hard to measure out 1/4? Thanks Kara, Renee.
I had XR capsules when I was at 75 mg. I opened them and judged amounts when I wanted to take smaller amounts. Later I moved to 37.5 mg. pills. These I was able to cut with a pill cutter. The drug companies say not to open the capsules (because it's cheaper to get higher amounts and open the capsules than it is to buy more of the lower potency ones) but each of the pellets was sustained release and I had no problem opening the capsules.
I'm here if you need me. Good luck.
Kara
