Hello.You must start again following this method:
-During the first week, take 3/4 of the pill
-During the second week, take 1/2 tablet
-During the third week, take 1/4 of the pill.
After finish third week, you should not take more dose of the drug.
This method avoids the risk of anxiety due to abrupt decrease in dose.
I wish you good health.
