Miln started at a dose that was too high (even according to the starter pack instructions it was too high, not just my opinion).
Miln was increased when it should have been decreased instead (my opinion following many cases of miln users).
Miln should have been split up into small chunks throughout the day, in respect of its very short halflife (my opinion based on personal experience, it does have a very short halflife).
Lex should have come down much slower (no mysteries here).
Lex should have come down in smaller steps (no mysteries here).
Lex should have been changed from single daily dosing to multiple smaller dosing (opinion based on my doctor's experience).
Nothing new here. I've said it at least twice already. Not heard, but that's ok. In your case I feel the dosing strategy from both directions has been extremely over the top. No wonder all the weirdness. The poor brain is under massive assault and is confused as heck.
Just one person's take on it. Hopefully it will smooth out soon. I don't know how you do it. I could never tolerate that. If I did that, I would be almost guaranteeing that I have a failure.
