Ok I'll go along with the official line: you should run this by your pdoc and you really should. Having said that....I've done it twice with an AD we were trying to reduce and I only went back up to the original dose. I called and told my pdoc both times what I'd done and why and he was ok with it. We've been together for years though and I have a good feel about what will be ok with him. I wouldn't recommend this for anybody...that was just my personal choice. Best wishes.
