Tapering slowly to lowest dose over several weeks, then splitting the dose in half for 2 weeks, and half again is what I'm doing, taking it everyday. For XR, 37mg 2 weeks, 18mg 2weeks, then 9mg for weeks is my plan. I'm at the end of 1st week at 18mg.

Jammer, to get to 9 mg, are you simply dividing your 37.5 contents into fourths? I'm at that point now. My doc thinks I'm 'crazy' for dividing the little balls, but then he's never tried to wean from it... Thanks for the info. Continued luck with the weaning. Jerz
