Weaning Off Plavix After 4 Weeks

I has a suspected TIA and was placed on Plavix 75 mg. 4 weeks ago.
After reading maby articles I wish to wean off and go back on aspirin.
Any suggestions how to wean off? Every other day take one? aspirin in bewtween , or what?
Thanks gang for your comments.
p.s. I don't think I had a TIA and results were negative on tests.

Hello, Pete! How are you?

Generally skipping days, while slowly lowering the dose is the modern preferred method, but only your doctor can help you decide which is safest for you.

Do they know what caused the problem? Why were you on Aspirin?
