All about liquid titrations

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping to answer a few questions in this one email.

-- It's fine to switch to a liquid. Thousands of people have done

it before you.

-- You can create a liquid anytime. Your dose doesn't matter. But

it doesn't make any sense to do this until you are at the point

where you can no longer break the pill (its become too small).

-- There is always a way to dissolve or blend the drug. A good

post was written on this today by Jeff (I think). If you're not

reading all the posts each day you are depriving yourself of

important and useful information. I cannot and will not be here to

answer each person -- especially when it is a question that has

already been answered within the week. If something that is not in

keeping with what we already know to be useful and safe I will bw

sure to comment on this. That way you know anything that crosses the

list is helpful for most people. There will always be exceptions to

everything; we can never be 100% accurate on anything due to

biochemical individuality.

-- There are some drugs that are continuous release, or extended

release. Despite what most people, think some of these can broken

into smaller doses. Those that can are capsules with pellets

inside. It is the pellets that are designed to be time-released,

not the outer capsule. So what you do in this case is count all the

pellets in one capsule. Use this as your starting point for doing

the 5-10% decreases.

-- I've noticed people being concerned about the accuracy of liquid

titrations. This is not something to worry about. It's not

necessary to be right on the mark with this. The small amount you

will be off will make no difference in most cases.

-- Scales work well, too. They are available on Ebay for less than

50 dollars. Just make sure you buy one capable of weighing such

light material.

-- All of this is just common sense. It's not difficult. These

methods are tried and true. They work for most people. Keep that

in mind and keep your attitude positive.

Regards,

Thanks . I am glad to know it is okay to switch to the liquid form of prescription Doxepin. That makes it much easier to do the reductions as the dropper is calibrated very well. I thought I had read last year that you should not switch from the capsules to the prescription liquid unless you were at the very end of the taper. In some ways I guess I am close to the end because 10mgs is the smallest capsule dosage.

Thanks for clearing this up. I will continue with the prescription liquid oral concentrate.
