I got to figuring it out ~ yes you might have enough. But you're going to need to get a pill cutter ~ you can get them at any Pharmacy. This schedule I'll give you will keep you as comfortable as I can make you:
For the first week take: 3 1/2 tablets every day
Second week 3 tablets
Third week 2 1/2 tablets
Fourth 2 tablets
Fifth 1 1/2 tablets
Sixth 1 tablet
Seventh 1/2 tablet
You shouldn't have trouble with this schedule, but if you do it will be minimal. I doubt you'll have ANY. Some people reduce at 10mg steps, but to me that's just too much. It brings on the "creepy crawly" feelings.
After you've gotten thru this taper, THROW OUT all remaining meds. Then you won't be tempted to take anymore. God bless and best of luck. Let us know how you do. Ideally you should do this under doctor supervision!!! Take care. hugs, Lee
