Will someone please post a link to the Files and direct ph to the srticle on liquid titrations? I'm at work and don't have time at the moment. Thanks!!

Hi, I'm ph hooked on 40 mg. on Paxil ( take 20 mg. at AM and 20mg. at PM). Also hooked on Ativan 1.5 mg. ( take 2 - 0.5 mg. and 0.5mg. at evening).Sometimes I feel like stopping all at once.I started to taper - off from 40 mg. paxil to 37.5 mg. using a cut -piller. C. advised me to do it at 1 mg. Does anyone knows how to take out 1 mg. from a 20 mg. pill.Is there any tool that can triturate the pill so I can take 1 mg. away???

The problem is that those Drug companies designed everything to hookedyou on these dangerous drugs.Also I'm tired about the b***s**t of drug companies saying that thesedrugs are safe.Please any feedback, I really aprecciate Thanks.

ph paxil: 40 mg., ativan: 1.5 mg.Started: July 1999Started weaning off: August 8 2006 at 2.5 mg. reduction.Now taking 37.5 mg. +/- using a cutpiller

ph,

Here's the link

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Withdrawal_and_Recovery/files/Gu

ide to Drug Withdrawal/

I copied and pasted it beneath incase you can't the link to work or

something.

From Carol Wohar:

HOW TO DO A LIQUID TITRATION TO REDUCE A DRUG

(not to be done with an extended release drug)

[The starting dose of 10mg here is just for an example of how to

do a 10% reduction. You can still use the same amount of liquid and

the same-sized syringe regardless of what dosage you are taking.

The only thing that changes is the amount you dissolve. You merely

need to multiply your dose by 10% (or 5% if you need to go more

slowly) by changing the percentage to a decimal. This is done by

removing the percent sign and placing a decimal poiint two places to

the left.

EXAMPLE: 10% become .10

5% becomes .05

Then, multiply your current dose by the amount you wish to

decrease (.05 or .10).

Let's say your current dose is 25 mg.

EXAMPLE: 25 x .10 = 2.5

25 x .05 = 1.25

Then, subtract the answer you get from your current dose of 25 mg.

EXAMPLE: If you wish to reduce by 10%:

25.0 - 2.5 = 22.5 mg

22.5 mg. is the dose you will take if you wanted to reduce by 10%.

EXAMPLE: If you wish to reduce by 5%:

25.0 - 1.25 = 23.75 mg

23.75 mg. is the dose you will take if you wanted to reduce by 5%.

Go to a pharmacy and getting a 10 mL monoject syringe without the

needle tip. Also you will need a 1 Ml B-D syringe without the needle

tip. (With these two syringes you can measure to the 1/10 of a mL

and less) My pharmacist gave me both of these syringes.

You would then disolve your 10 Mg pill in 10mL of liquid. This may

be water, club soda, hot water, or anything else in which your pill

will completely dissolve. you'll need to experiment with this to

find the right liquid.

You can precisely measure out the smallest amounts to a 0.1of a

milligram.

Always crush your 10 Mg pill (NEVER, never, never crush an extended

release pill) in 10 mL of liquid and mix well. I would suggest after

measuring out your current dose that the balance of the leftover

mixture be disgarded.

Example: First dose of 10 Mg minus 10% would be equivalent to 9 mL

of your liquid mixture Mix well, 10 Mg pill with 10 mL liquid,

measure out 9mL with syringe and discard leftover.

Next dose minus 10% of 9mL would be approx. 8.1 mL of your liquid

mixture (measure the 8mL in your larger syringe and the 0.1mL in

your smaller 1.0 mL syringe.) Discard leftover mixture.

Next dose 10% of 8.1 mg. would be approx 7.3 mL of your liquid

mixture (7 mL in your larger syring and the .3 mL in your smaller

1.0 mL syringe) Discard leftover mixture.

Next dose would be 10% of 7.3mg which would be approx 6.6 mL. of

your liquid mixture(6 mL in your larger syringe and .6 in your

smaller 1.0 mL syringe)

Next dose 10% of 6.6Mg would be approx 6 mL. of your liquid mixture

Next dose of 10% of 6 Mg would be approx.5.4 mL of your mixture

(measure 5mL in your larger syringe and the .4 in your 1.0 mL

syringe.

Next dose of 10% of 5.4mg would be approx. 4.9 mL of your mixture.

Continue your reduction in this manner.

Hi ph, If you go to the files section of this group, then go to the

folder Guide To Drug Withdrawal, then you'll see a txt file liquid

titration. If you go to your pharmacy and get a syringe. I have come off

antidepressants, been off about 4 weeks now, and I followed this method, it

was important for me in the beginning to stick to the 10% reduction exactly

to the point of the millilitre, as it really made a difference if I didn't.

Im feeling great!!! I had no luck with cutting the pills, so do this

method. I put them in quite warm water to dissolve.

All the best,

Kate
