You're doing it the right way. Well done! I should have come off a lot slower and wouldn't be having quite so many side-effects but I'm just too impatient.
I'm also keeping a mood chart. It's a great idea. It gives you an idea of how ur really going.
For instance, I thought I was feeling flat all day long, but in fact I have a window period in the day where I feel fine.
It can help put things in perspective a little more.
Good luck Loopylass. :)
