To be honest, you have to withdrawl from this drug much slow than you have.
Open up the capsules and remove the contents spheroid by spheroid.
I would say to come off of 150 mg you would need to take at least 6 months. I know it sounds like forever, but a slow transition will help you phase in other activities that will help you prevent relapse, such as exercise, vitamins, fish oil, whatever. Resume your original dose, or close to it, and go s l o w e r.
