Were you sitting there counting pellets? That's fine for some people, but it doesn't work for every kind of medication, and not everybody is even going to know that it is an option. Besides, if you have poor eyesight or shaky hands, good luck with that. Some of the people on this board like yourself are probably part of, we'll say, the top 1% of patients with a serious depth of knowledge. Not everybody is like that.
My beef is in principle. We shouldn't have to be doing this crap. It's insane. When a company puts out products like some of these medications, that company has a duty to the consumer. Covering up knowledge of withdrawal and misrepresenting that information, to me, is heinous.
What's so hard about making a kit for tapering?
