for the past month I have opened and split a 75mg pill into 4's = 18.75
I had a few side effects the first couple days, but now I feel like i am ready to take the plunge and put an end to this drug.
I have felt much better, less sedated, more alive this past month...maybe a combination of the warm spring weather too.
Any suggestions..Do you think I am ready to go cold turkey, or should I split the 18.75 into
9.375mg for a while longer???

JB,
I think it depends on the med, as far as how fast you can taper off safely. Have you talked to your dr. about it?
If it's just an SSRI, and you feel ready, maybe you could try coming down now. The taper has probably made it easier.
but, p.s. i'd still wanna consult with a p.doc.
