Hey SLS, that is a great strategy. Thanks for taking the time to put it together for me. What you described is actually a spin-off of what I have been doing already, except your method takes it a bit further. For example, I've been dosing 5mg in the evening for 5 years. To start weaning, I split it into 2.5mg in the evening and 2.5mg at lunch. I slowly cut pieces off the lunch dose until finally I didn't need it at all. All that remained was the 2.5mg evening dose.
With you suggested method, I could divide the 2.5mg dose into halves, thirds, or quarters, and spread them throughout the day as needed, instead of just shaving small amounts off the once nightly dose.
Cool idea. Thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated.
