Firstly, not everyone experiences horrendous withdrawals, most don't, nor are they necessarily just due to chemistry and biology, psychology is at least as important a factor. Expect to suffer greatly and the mind is quit capable of making it so. Plus, it is all a moot point as what is the point of taking an ineffective dose just to minimise any potential withdrawal symptoms? If you need 200mg to get a worthwhile response then there is no point taking only 100mg.Quote:
