Thank you @jakedduck1, I was wondering if that would be the way to go. I have been searching to find ideas to talk over with my doctor, and thought this might be a good way to go. Obviously I need to go very slowly from now on. It feels good to know that there is support here. My husband is also very supportive which is important. This is too hard to do all alone. I’ve learned that from experience. Thank you again.

Hello again,
I have never had a problem stopping medication except when it came to the Benzodiazepine Anticonvulsant Klonopin. I was taking flakes of it at the last. You may need to remind your doctor that people react differently. Although I personally do not like Benzodiazepines and refuse to take them they do help some people. They replaced the Barbiturates. I’ll take Barbiturates anytime over Benzos but try finding a doctor to prescribe any these days. If studied long enough any drug will be found to be dangerous. Phenobarbital, a Barbiturate has been studied over 100 years now. Research is beginning to show the Benzodiazepines aren’t the great replacement that they once thought. Bet you a buck these drugs eventually go the way of Barbiturates.
I’d be curious of what your doctor suggests. Hope you keep up updated
Best of luck,
Jake
