Hey Summer! 0.9 to 0.6 is 33%, so i understand why you had a hard time. Its so pesky at the low doses but you can do it! Take you time and hope to see you back sharing your success story

"will hold until stable." — @Lost summer

You're getting so close to zero! Nothing wrong with slowing things down. Give yourself some time and things will stabilize. 💜
