Poop-out question

rcx · 02-08-2009, 08:18 PM

If someone feels they were in poop-out at a particluar dose and they get lower down in dose and find it hard, does it still make sense to consider going up in dose for relief?

I don't think so. I think the lower you go the more relief you may feel. but I'm no expert. If you were in poop out at, for example, 20m and you taper to 18mg and still have poop-out symptoms, I don't think you should go back to 20. however, that may depend on how fast you tapered.
