Liver problems with cylert extremely rare n liver test on periodic basis are no big deal. Liver complications incidence is extremely low perhaps 11 deaths that I know of but that's out of millions n is almost always with young kids!! I've stopped it a couple times when I've tried new med regiment withdrawal extremely minor. Btw I'm prescribed 18.75 "3 times a day "" most days I only take 2 tabs at most n I divide the dose " split the tab"!!!!!! That would be my advice cut down slow - to a single tab , then to 1/2 tab. Wellbutrin can be used to replace cylert works quite similiarily,both affect dopamine n norepinephrine re-uptake, dopamine moreso though. Good Luck """""""Happy""""""""
