Hello, Lenore! How are you?

Why do you want to lower it, are you having some problem with it? Have you consulted your healthcare provider?

Lowering your dosage too fast could cause some rebound effects, such as a manic depressive episode, that could be problematic.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, thirst, dizziness, weakness and itching skin.
