I would consider using a flexible-dosing strategy in which one takes very small doses of drug whenever withdrawal symptoms appear - but not sooner. It's like taking aspirin for a headache only when the headache reappears. You might end up dosing several times a day. I believe this method helps "nudge" the system into re-regulating itself.
