> Go from 7.5mg to 7mg to 6mg to 5mg and so on. That's what I would do. And did. Maybe you'll have an easier time. Dunno.Thanks, so much, blueberry, for the advice. I just want to get off of it. It never really worked as a sleep aid for me and, I think, made my RLS worse. Hopefully I won't have too many problems going from 7.5mg to 0, but I will use your suggestion of chopping off little corners and going a bit slower if the going gets rough.
