[te...] Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 My Ativan tablet weighs 0.051 by weight it is a 0.5 mg tablet of Ativan . I am at 0.037 by weight split that does to 3times a day . Pills are to tiny to cut and scale is driving me crazy . Could someone please explain step by step on how the math looks and how to prepare the solution . What size syringe do I get I have to decrease very slowly it’s been very difficult . Thank you Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bu...] Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Combine 4mg + 8ml vodka or propylene glycol + 32ml water. That gives you a uniformly distributed solution, .1mg =1ml That will be approx a 10-12 day supply. You current dose is approx .363mg so we'll start at .37 and reduce .001mg/day. That's approx 4% reduction per 2 weeks, a pretty slow taper. Schedule: .37mg 3.7ml .369mg 3.69ml .368mg 3.68ml .367mg 3.67ml etc.......... Just lower your dose by .01ml (.001mg) each day. You could do it all with a 1ml syringe, but a combo of 1ml and a 10ml syringe will make it easier. And some 1ml syringes are graduated with 50 marks (.02ml) and some with 100 marks (.01ml). Either one will work just fine. With a .02 scale, .01 is between the lines. To divide your dose into 3 dose, put the full day's dose (from the chart) in a measuring cup and top it up to 1 full cup with water (or juice,soda, etc). Then drink 1/3 cup for each separate dose.

[te...] Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Builder you do realize that my Ativan tablet is 0.5 mg so I would use 8 pills to make the solution? Then when I run out I use the same formula to make it and just keep reducing ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[te...] Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Builder my does calculations say my does is 0.3032779 That is I took my 0.5 mg pill and divide it by pill weight of 61 so I get 0.0081967 then 0.37 which is the weight of the amount I am on now x 0.0081967 equals 0.3032779 is that right? You got .363 not sure ? Don’t want to go up . Thanks lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at 0.037 by weight " .037/.051= 72.5% .5mg X 72.5% = .0362mg If its actually .061, then the .30mg is correct. So do... 3mg + 6ml vodka + 24ml water Start at .3mg (3ml) and reduce by .001mg (.01ml) each day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
