It's not very scientific to open the capsule and dump out say approx one half of the beads, but I've done it successfully to make up capsules of 1/2 of 37.5 which is about 19 mg.

I bought a big bag for $5 or $6 of the empty gel caps from the health food store to split them up. But you can just dump half out if you aren't as thifty as I was.

I stayed on 19 for several weeks when tapering off and it helped.

The 3rd day of none was the worst, but it got better. And going from 19 to 0 is better than going from 37.5 to zero.
