Hi GG,
> I was taking 600 mg. I lowered it to 450 mg by taking alternating between two 300 mg capsules and one capsule every other day to average 450 mg. I did this for about 2 weeks, then 300 mg for two weeks, then off. Perhaps that was too fast? Though if I had to come off it because I was pregnant, I'd have to do it even faster.

Hi GG,Not to hijack this thread or to sound critical but yeah, you definitely tapered too fast.
Also, alternating doses is one the worst things you can do as it puts your body into withdrawal.
Hopefully, you're not suffering too badly but many people would suffer greatly from this type of tapering.
Unfortunately, tapering slowly is easier said than done and I won't lie about that. But it is doable.
Sorry if it sounds like I am beating a dead horse. I am obviously very passionate about this issue.
