My daughter ( 16 years old)has been on this for about 6 months, with little to no improvement.

Now I want her off of it. she is taking 20 mg in the morning.

I was thinking start with 10 in the morning for two weeks and then 5 mg for two weeks then off of it.

Any thought son this?

I suggest talking to a medical professional about this.

I just spoke with the nurse, and she said:

I can cut her off the meds straight off.
Because she is not taking a large dose (20 mg) in the first place, but also because of the drug it self, (I think she said the type of salts it is) it was not necessary to slowly diminish the dosages, over a period of time.

Is this right?

I am still waiting for the letter from the doctor himself, to confirm this.

Will post what he said.
