It has been almost 3 days since I used it. My eyes are dry but not as bad.
Still have to use tears about 4 times a day and ointment at night. My doctor had said to go to 3 times a day if necessary. Could that have been too much?
She is on maternity leave right now: not sure what to do! Thanks

I am very sure you don't need to taper down the dose of Restasis but before you decide to stop you should use less drops per day to see if that gives a better effect.
