[BW...] Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hi all, I'm tapering off of Lorazepam (I'm on approx. .9mg dosage, down from 1.50mg dosage--I need to update my profile). I'm doing a dry cut and hold taper, cutting 5% of previous dose every 2 weeks. I have a Gem20 scale that doesn't seem to be sensitive enough as I make smaller cuts. Weighing the entire dose for the day instead of just the dose I'm cutting helps a little (I take it in 4 doses/day), but I'm afraid as I get lower it won't be as accurate. It's already bouncing around a lot. I'm hesitant to switch to liquid as I'm usually pretty sensitive to meds. I'm considering spending about $100 on what seems to be a more precise scale. Any advice on a getting a more precise scale, or suggestions on continuing the dry cutting and making sure it's accurate?

[Br...] Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hi BWarrior- You may find some helpful ideas on this page, Benzo Dry Taper Math? https://benzodrytapermath.com. It was put together by one of our members Bob7. He talks about using a "filler" when weighing the lower doses - this might be an idea worth considering for you.

[he...] Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 If you really want a more precise and reliable scale, you're looking at spending over $1000, which, if it helps that much, it might be worth it, as it was in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
