@Nomansland Today is "Happy New Year".  Just got done reading through some or your posts.  You have some of the best moderators helping you and I think they are giving you very good advice. 

It appears you have now figured out your process, and now can confidently proceed on your taper journey.

Some of the key advice is to learn to relax with the journey.  As you know, I use small beads to do my drops.  I know there are inconsistencies in the number of beads in a capsule, and even inconsistencies in the small beads.  Counting small beads is fairly easy for me to do, and so far, I don't put too much concern toward the small inconsistencies. 

Wishing you well on you journey.

Hello @LarryS,

 

i also want to wish you a happy new year. May this be a better year for all of us. Can only agree that the help of the moderators on this forum is so important.

 

Well i think as humans we always search for reasons when we feel bad. The only real thing we know in withdrawal is how we feel and suddenly we want to know

the reason why we feel bad and search for answers. Seems like we can only affect things to a certain extend.

 

We all have to go our way, which is very hard at times. But never lose hope! It doesnt matter where we are at our road, we all will reach the goal.

 

Greetings
