> Hi, so I registered on Paxilprogress.com. My user name is the same as here, Maritza. I am currently in a waiting mode with them . My registration needs to undergo moderation before my forum is activated. I still don't get how to tirate doses down. It's not possible to cut the pill in 10% increments. What does water tapering mean. I think alot of people would appreciate this explanation.
> Thanks
> MaritzaHi,
I am tapering Remeron by 10% and here are the steps. I don't use water titration as that is just too messy and confusing for me.
1, Buy a digital scale on EBay that can measure .001g. They range in price from $15 to $30.
2. Buy empty gelatin capsules. I bought a whole container of 1000 for $10 from vitacost.
3. Buy pill crusher
4. Count out the amount of Remeron you are currently using. For example, if it is a 15mg pill, crush it and then pour it into the emply capsule.
5. Weigh it on the digital scale and note the measurement.
6. Use that measurement to subtract the 10% amount from. For example, if the measurement is .215g, your new dose will be .194.
Fire away with any questions.
