has anyone lowered their dose and restored their motivation?

Changing Dosage Question

so I’ve been on 10mg for the past 3 months, excellent anxiety suppression and not much rumination, but I’ve been overly chill, not much motivates me and I’ve relied on caffeine to combat fatigue…

I’ve also been more emotionally numb, as in I don’t feel dopamine surges anymore, no more excitement or social boosts…

I like its benefits but its side effects are quite heavy, so I’ve decided to taper down to 7.5mg and have been on that dose for the past 3 days, has anyone lowered from a certain dose and realized any benefits?
