I think the scales are easier. I only do the water because I tapered off a benzo using water and that is what I got used to. That was before I knew about the scale method. With the water, you have to order alot of the equipment such as a small blender and measuring devices. Then you have to do all the math to make accurate cuts. With the scales, you can find them for pretty cheap on e-bay or amazon. There is alot of info posted on the paxil board about what kind of scales to use and how to use them, also how to calcuate the math. Depending on what AD you are weaning off of also can make a difference. Some of them such as paxil and lexapro come in a prescription liquid and that makes them easy to cut without any special equipment. If they are a capsule, you can't put them in water so the scales work well. I don't have all my info on the water taper at home. It is all on my computer at work and I am off on vacation until Jan 12. If you still want me to send it to you, I can when I get back to work. Just put a post out here or send me a private message to Anxiety123 on the paxil board with your e-mail so I can send it all to you.
