Yes. Under my primary care provider and my neurologist. Begin in late summer of 2017. Completed in January 2018. No problems. I was afraid. I had a seizure risk from the withdrawal and a craniotomy done in 2014. I have never gone back to this class of drugs.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel somewhat better. I’m concerned the provider I am seeing for the tapering is not going slow enough. I started in September. I have felt pretty horrible the last couple of months but I knew I would. I was taken off cold turkey years ago. I lasted about 4 weeks. This is not nearly as bad. I find myself getting frustrated feeling like I have no control over what is happening

@kb2014
How did you taper off. My dr. is recommending a water taper disolving a .5 mg tablet in 200 mg water. I read that it doesn't disolve well so the doses would be inconsistent? Have you tried it or know of any one who had and how it worked for them?

@kb2014
How did you taper off. I am looking for a very safe way. I am considering a compounded liquid, but maybe buying a scale and shaving off pieces might work better.
I applaud you for you valiant and brave effort of tapering and getting completely off.
I've been on .5 daily for six months and have been told it will take two years at 81????
Any thoughts!!
