I just opened my capule up and poured half out and did it back up again. Now I know this wasn't a good idea. I couldn't get a hold of my Dr (weekend) and was feeling very sick as I tried to cut cold turkey under the advice from a crummy Dr here. But I took 37.5 again (to quit a different way my Dr told me) because I didn't like to open the capules but felt very sick so I had to go back to pouring half out again. Basically what I am trying to say is that my body is used to 18.75mg now b/c anything more makes me quite sick. I do not recommend opening caps but to talk to Dr. My advice from a another Dr was as follows:
to take 37.5 every second day for a week
then every third day if symtpoms are still bothering you. Then after a week to stop.Again, please don't listen to this advice but talk to a Dr. Everyone will be different.

How long did it take you to taper off to the 18mg? Is there an 18mg pill? I am on 37 1/2 for the start of the second week from 300mg. So far this whole experience has been a nightmare. I am looking for hope that this will soon be over and I can go on with my life.
