[ol...] Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Trying to keep this simple. If I put 1mg of Ativan in 100ml of liquid and removed .2 ml every day what is my % reduction for the month? I feel so stupid :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[...] Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You put 1mg into 100ml so each ml contains .01mg A. But you remove .2ml a day so that is .002mg a day. There are 30 days in a month so .002mg a day is .060mg a month. If your dose is 1mg that is 6% a month. That's a very cautious rate. Good job.

[ol...] Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thank you. So to get a little bit more complicated. I put my 1mg pill in 100ml of water, draw off the .2ml and make a dose for today and a dose for tomorrow ( split the dose in half equally) would that mean I am tapering at 3% per month? I feel like an absolute idiot. I'm having real problems with numbers and comprehension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[...] Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If you put 1mg into 100ml an draw off .2ml that is a removal of .002mg. Then you split it into two days worth of doses. So you would be cutting .001mg a day, not .002mg, which is .030mg a month. But you daily dose is also half as much because you split it in half. So it is still 6% a month. "Percent" cut depends on both the cut size and what your dose actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
