No need to taper clen down and instead of going in with a fixed plan you really need to listen to your body. Austinite can't handle more than 40 mcg while I start at 40 mcg and quickly go up to 120 and ride out my two weeks there. You need to start low and slow and ramp up when you can handle it to the max amount you can handle. (my workouts go to poop at 140mcg)
