How are you now? I have been on and off (75mg) 10 times since the beginning of 2018. It works well, but it was giving me extreme high blood pressure and cholesterol. Just like you, every time I go off of it I will go through the initial withdrawal symptoms of 2 to 3 weeks of hell then I would seem to get better for 2 months, but with each passing month I would get sicker and sicker. Very similar to autoimmune symptoms. Out of desperation, I would go back on it and within 2 weeks I would feel back to normal. Then the same cycle would begin where it would make me hypertensive (I am talking 172/110) and I have to get off of it. In fact, I am going through it right now. I just don't know what to do. I just want my life back.
