Reaction terrible! Itching!!! Now I reduced to 25 and it was better, but now terrible again, on neck and face mostly.Can I reduce to 12.5 to wean off? Can't talk to dr and it is driving me crazy, worried about my eyes as rash is on lids too!
Makes me very anxious when rash gets ramped up and mildly nauseated.

I was on 50 mg for about 3 1/2 wks, then 25 mg for a week now, thinking 1/4 tonite. Is that what you would say is gradual?
That's good, yes, the trouble comes from the last reduction to zero, so, try to stay on this minimal dose at least 10 days, then, after that, every other day for 10 days, then 1 on, 2 off for 20 more, by then you can probably stop, or, go 3 off, etc.
