The answer to your question is yes, many experience the end of the cycle as a whimper instead of a bang.

One request: Do you think you could differentiate your posts in the subject line a little more? There are three threads you've started on the first page alone that are titled merely "question." I have a hard time keeping them straight. Thanks.

I take this to be you're on only the verap now and haven't had been actually hit in four days. That would make it hard to tell if this episode is subsiding.

The only way to tell is if the doc suggests the verap is very gradually reduced.

Being awhile since episodic but a lengthy reducing of verap had been best. Too early or fast and it has happened an episode has gained some feet again.
