I am 5 months finished with a valium taper. Still have some side effects. I want to start a tapering off 20 mg trazadone now. I need advice on switching from tablets to liquid, should I do a direct switch.  Seems like half and half would be hard to stay accurate.   Also at 20 mg trazadone would you still recommend a 10 percent taper

Thanks
