I'm with you Scott. I find the two day adjustment a little worrying. Depending on how long you've been taking a drug and having it build up and become dependant on it, asking your body to quickly learn to live without it is putting a strong demand on your body to adjust.
That being said, I too have used flexible dosing when getting off AD's. Once I taper slowly, I start to take pills every second or third day, then down to half, then down to a quarterof a pill. When I feel symptoms come on, I take something. Eventually the doses become smaller and smaller and further and further apart. It may take longer, but it beats the god-awful withdrawal symptoms.
Just thought I throw in my 2 cents for what it's worth.
Brian, keep us posted. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
