Thank you Steve, it wont be that easy all the time sadly. Now the occupancy curve is forgiving. Stopping at 10mg to taper other med to 0. 🙂 Have a nice day.

That sounds wise, didn‘t want to crash your good run with this but you are absolutley right, we need to be more careful in low doses. I wish you the 10mg will also go smoothly. I also think it’s smart to reduce both meds gradually before stopping one completely. Hit us with an update when you are ready and how it‘s going 💪😊
