Brief answer....reduce your dose by 25% 
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and seen your reports.
Your doctor is right in reducing your dose but in many cases,people feel giddiness if the dose is suddenly reduced to 50%,as in your case.
The best would be to reduce your dose by 25% every 3 weeks.
This way you wont feel any giddiness or any other symptom.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
