[ju...] Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 i have been a member for years was going to start my direct taper this year but i am having problems with a brand switch...... i was on watson/actavis brand got switch to teva still take the same dose but the teva pill is causing problems likes it twice as strong as my old brand 12pm- 0.25mg 4pm-0.25mg 8pm-0.25mg 12am-0.375mg 4am-0.25mg 8am-0.25mg then the cycle repeats itself the 1.625mg daily in a 24 hour span but like i said the teva is strong making me feel tired out of it way to calm and i can barley function like this look for some good advice and input my pills come in 0.5mg i was already cutting them in half because 0.5mg felt like to much of the watson/actavis brand....... do i start cutting my teva into 0.125mg ? or do u just try to reduce my total mg by a whole ? please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ka...] Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 How long have you been on the teva pill? Maybe you need to give yourself some time to adapt to it/stabilize before you begin to taper it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ka...] Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 today is day 6 of the switch Six days isn't that long. Would you consider holding for a while until you see how this goes? You should have a feel for things in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ju...] Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 i talk to someone in another group on fb and she was having the same problems as me with it being to strong she said it took her about 2 weeks to adjust and she also said she talk to member on here with the same problem as well and they all adjusted so i am going to stick it out ..... day 6 is in the books and i had a few good small windows of feeling how i used to on the old brand ...... minus a few side effects so i will be sticking it out till i get better on the new brand for now ..... i am still searching for a good scale though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ka...] Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yes, those Amazon reviews can be confusing. Perhaps a few members will stop by and give their recommendation for a scale to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
