If I were to do it again, I would cut back very, very slowly, like cut back just a little and wait a week or two before cutting again.
I quit "cold turkey," and it took me over three years to completely recover. Each day I would think that the worst had to be over or I'd have a good day, and then I'd be deathly sick all over again. (Sigh)
If it's at all possible, as much as you might hate to take the drug that caused you so much pain, I'd consider weaning off as slowly as your body needs to go. Those of us that get sick when we stop taking it get really sick.
All the best to you!
