[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 541264, member: 11791"] Well, we've tested the edges of medications, time and again - we have a good psychiatrist who insists we do this. We try and drop dosages a bit and see if we can get away with it. Usually? NOPE. But it's worth trying. However... the first cardinal rule of medications trials to NOT do this when there is a lot of other stuff going on. And the second cardinal rule is... if the medication takes time to ramp up, then you have to be really careful ramping down. Our last attempted adjustment on an ssri? we did 1/2 dose ONE day a week, then two days the next week, then three days the next - and at that point, it was obvious that going down wasn't the way to go. But this was over the holidays... when we had multiple relatively-stable weeks to do it in. I'd take it back up. Stabilize. And then try again... MUCH more slowly. [/QUOTE]
