I think taking them multiple times throughout the day is, indeed, a mistake. Today, I'm sticking to morning, noon, and night, as opposed to six "little doses" throughout the day. Although I feel like I'm moving forward in many ways, the "addict" in me is definitely still there. Hence, that's why I've done those "fun Fridays" in which I indulge in more pills. In reality, that is totally working against a solid taper - giving myself a "fun day" is a bad idea with these pills, and I know it. It's time to get a bit more serious about this; while at the same time, being patient and giving my body time to adjust. Trust me, if I could go back to summer, stop quickly, and deal with the withdrawals for a few weeks, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
