Don't forget to browse the "Withdrawal" Psycho-Babble board. There are some suggestions on what you can do to make the ride easier.Going from 200mg to 100mg is a big jump - 50% reduction. Don't be surprised if you begin to feel some withdrawal effects. For me, I had more success coming off these drugs taking "smaller bites" and dividing the dose to 2-3 times a day, especially once you get to the small dosages toward the end of the taper period. I would suggest that you do not skip days in between doses. Don't be afraid to split the pills.
