> > Hi, so I registered on Paxilprogress.com. My user name is the same as here, Maritza. I am currently in a waiting mode with them . My registration needs to undergo moderation before my forum is activated. I still don't get how to tirate doses down. It's not possible to cut the pill in 10% increments. What does water tapering mean. I think alot of people would appreciate this explanation.
