[bo...] Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 There are plenty of syringes to choose from on Amazon. Without the needle. That's where I bought mine. Just type "syringe 1 ml no needle" into the search box. I just did and found dozens. Low price was about $8 for 12, I think. I know this is all new and confusing . . . but hang in there. Hope this helps. Katz Thxs Katz, i don't live in the US so It can take time until I can get the syringe of 1ml... I appreciate the support!

[bo...] Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Good luck, bonty!! I hope your local amazon comes through for you. Katz So I found 1ml Syringe in a vet. Clinc. They are tiny but have 0.1 graduation ... Hope it all works well in the kitchen lab. I'm wondering if people use a magnifying glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[bo...] Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 I wanted to ask you about when I hold and taper again do I have to recalculate the % from the lower dose or just keep going as I was... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bu...] Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 When doing a daily taper you will not get slammed with sxs, as you do with a C&H taper. Sxs, if any, will emerge gradually, and you can make necessary corrections. So the general advice is the maintain the same taper rate unless you become symptomatic. If you did a hold because you were symptomatic, then you probably were tapering too fast, and you should restart at a slower rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bo...] Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Got it, I had some sxs not to bad and held for a week and then continued as I was then didn't have any sxs almost but im holding for a few days... I'm wondering when I go lower and do the same solution each time I will have more of it ,should I just through it out and do a new batch? Also if I reduce 6% every 15 day wouldn't that be 12% a month? thxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, I had just a few sxs and I was told to hold a few days anyway as I'm doing the same solution the % comes out the same 0.03 so it really doesn't matter I hope...

[bo...] Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'm wondering if people use a magnifying glass? hi Katz, I have a question about tapering if I would taper 10% every 2weeks that would be 20% per month that's to much, I'm micro tapering... I'm confused the good thing is I started with 6% Appreciate your input thxs! Katz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your syringe has 50 divisions, .13 will be between the 12th and 14th mark. If you go by your neighborhood pharmacy, I'm sure they would teach you how to read a syringe.

Thank you Bella but the confusion is I was reducing by .003 then .002 .... so I don't understand how now 5% is .013? I just want to microtaper 5% of my current dose which is 0.40... below is the chart: .5mg X 10% = .05mg .05mg/15 days = .0033mg ( round down to .003mgs/day) Since your liquid will be .1mg per ml, your daily schedule will be: .5mg 5ml .497mg 4.97ml .494mg 4.94ml .491mg 4.91ml etc.....
