(((fayerody))) Not sure who or what you are arguing... I think most of us here know about removing a medication such as an AD from our daily routine... and how horrible it can be. IMO most ppl want to be off medicines NOW! and they really don't do it slowly enough. In fact, we often read here at PC how someone just goes off their meds and then because of feeling horribly out of sorts, complain and share they are afraid to tell their doctor.

I also am confused about your personal experience, pat... you said you OPENED the capsules to taper off? I never heard of doing that being appropriate and measurable... tell me more?
