Brief Answer:
Get back to the last lowest dose....That is once daily!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I will suggest that you go back to the last lowest dose of once daily. Then, slowly move to once every two days, then every 3days......up to once weekly. At that time, try to wean off. If that still fails, then we will need to continue reduce the dosage and increasing the interval.
I wish you well.
