Yes, the lower you go the slower it gets. 10% of 20mg is much higher that 10% of 100. So I'm guessing you spread it out over a longer length? With my Valium taper, I asked for liquid V. I add 1 ml( which Is equivalent to 1 mg) to 99 ml of water so I have 100 ml of solution. Right now I'm tapering from 3 mg V. So I take a 2 mg tablet and reduce the liquid by .01 mg/ml a day. It takes me roughly 3 months to taper 1 mg. It's going to take me even longer the lower I get. At 2 mg I'll probably reduce by .005 ml/day. This has serve me well, knock on wood. I've found that healing is not linear so you never know when you're going to be hit. I still need to taper from Paxil, Trazadone, and Gabapentin. When I think about it I feel totally overwhelmed.
10% of 100mg = 10mg
10% of 20mg = 2mg
So it's the opposite of what you said. You keep the length of time between reductions the same.
I'll send you a taper schedule you can customize for your meds.
Yes, I messaged them twice without any success.
Correction, I went back and checked - the info I put in the signature box did show up after all.
Hopefully a mod will respond eventually - looks like they're volunteers.
