>>..I was totally fine until that last 37.5 mg. capsule...Then all hell broke loose..no undertstatment. I kept saying to my husband, " I feel like I'm being zapped." I was so scared until I started reading that so many others go through the same thing...unfortunately.
Anyway, I weaned down over about 5 weeks...Some do it in a longer time frame. I guess, in all reality maybe it was a little too fast, but it seems not matter how slow you do it, you still have some horrid symptoms.<<You're exactly right. It doesn't matter - when that last grain is gone, withdrawal begins. Some say that they feel tapering is easier. Cold-turkey did it for me - I have know way of "comparing" whether my symptoms of withdrawal were any worse than someone who tapered. It was hell - that's the only way to describe it, and it sounds as if hell is experienced at all levels once the med is gone.
Hang in there. You can get past this!!
