Hello,
This is my first post but I wanted to share my experience with you. I am prescribed those on a regular basis. I always run out before hand. Near the end, I will taper back down every couple of days until I'm taking 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night. Then I'll skip morning and only take 1/2 at night. WDs tend to bother me more at night then in the day if I taper. I'll stay there for a while, while I can.
What to expect during the taper? You wont feel your meds because your tolerance is still high. You might feel like you are wasting you meds because you don't get relief and are only taking to ward off WDs. But stick it through, slowly tapering for about a week. If you feel WDs, take a half and wait 30-60 minutes. But remember every bit you take is keeping that tolerance.
Now of course the above is just what I do but I find it helps. It still sucks to go through it. In the future, if you can, try swapping back and forth between the good stuff and OTC stuff every other day. This will help keep your tolerance low longer. My tolerance shoots up sooooo quick I am starting to do this. I just find myself tapering all the time.
Hope this is helpful
