Okay, so it sounds like you're on four 7.5 mg a day, correct?
See if this makes sense.
How I would do it is this. I know they're hard to cut in half, but you need to do this.
Cut every single one of them in half.
Start the first day by taking your first whole pill. Then second dose, take only half a pill. Third dose, take a whole pill. Fourth pill take half of a pill.
Do this for two days, and see how you tolerate it. You can fool your body into thinking it's taking a whole one, when actually the first two days, you're down one pill....so taking three pills instead of four a day.
Third day, try taking only half a pill four times....you're down to two pills, if you can tolerate it.
Reduce by half a pill each day if you can..... and then see if you can stretch out the hours between pills. So go to every eight hours, instead of every six hours.
You can then cut the halves in half, even though it will be messy.....
So take the general taper as above, put it down on paper, reduce by half a pill every other dose, and continue to reduce every 2-3 days or so.
Like I said, this is what I would do, but I'm no expert, just someone who knows what you're going through....
If you really want to do this, you can, I have no doubts whatsoever. Hopefully you will have gotten some help elsewhere since yesterday. If not, try this, and see how it goes.
And actually, truth be told, this place you're going should be able to give you a taper schedule over the phone, no need to wait two weeks to see them.....I'd ask the doctor for this....or else, ask your pharmacist, as he also may be able to give you a little guidance.
Best of luck to you....
