on sunday when i dispense my meds, i'm going to cut them in half so i'm taking 0.25mg nightly and the following week, i'll dispense to 0.25mg the nights before i have classes (2x a week) and then the next week i'll hopefully be off. crossing my fingers this goes smoothly!

From what I understand, even a "baby dose" as you described, is difficult to come off of this med. take it slow..
