I began my withdrawal journey on May 15, 2017. I was taking 225 mg daily.
Here’s what I’m doing:
I open a capsule and remove 1 “bead”; next day, 2 beads; next day, 3 beads, and so on. By August 28, 2017, I had cut one capsule and was down to 150 mg daily. I continued to remove beads until I got down to 1 capsule. Now I am down to about 20 beads left and am still going forward. Once or twice I felt uncomfortable, with brain shivers and tinnitus. I would stay at that dosage for a week and then continue. At today’s dosage, I am experiencing some discomfort, but if I stay busy, I can deal with it.
It is a slow and tedious process, but so worth it! My memory is much better, for one thing! The support of my family and friends helps, too. Feel free to reply to me here for friendly support, questions, or comments. I would like to see everyone get off this “medicine “.
Good luck, best wishes, and I’m praying for each of you.
