Notify you're doctor that you would like to ween off, he'll probably tell you to take 1 37.5mg for 2 weeks and thats it. I highly suggest an exercise routine, great for you and the baby.

> > Hi,Be prepared for a ride. I think the caps are the best. you can go to a health food store and get your own empty gell caps and start to devide your caps up.Thats what I did . I went from 150 and devided them into four caps. Its been5 days now and its been like the worst hangover Ive had with electric shocks going through my brain dawn my arms and into my hands and feet. It may sound funny, but, brushing my hair is my idicator if it is getting better. Today is just a little bit better than yesterday.
