Re: Letters From the Island of Anhedonia
I am posting this here so I will have an easy reference for telling poeple how to do a slide.
It's simple you just---
Week one drop 2.5% of previous dosage (we will call it the original dose). Multiply the amount of the original dose by .975 to get the right amount.
Week two: drop 2.5% of the original dose. Multiply the amount of the original dose by .95 to get the right amount.
Week three: drop another 2.5% of the original dose. Multiply the amount of the original dose by .925 to get the right amount.
Week four: drop another 2.5% of the original dose. Multiply the original amount by .9 to get the right amount.
Week five: use the same dose as week four.
Week six: use the same dose as week four.
Week seven: start again using the dose from week four as the original dose.
Hope that makes sence.
