I have been taking for 2 years! The dosage was increased to 75 mg BID. Thats when all my problems started including weight gain, brain on roller coaster hitting brick wall over and over. After my last Dr visit and research..I decided I had to get off the drug. Slowly. By gradually decreasing the mgs per day. Going col Turkey is not wise and side affects unbearable!

Remember, you can always cut those tablets in half or quarters.
Good advice from @brightwings . Not easy @tennessegirl . I have been there. I also lived in TN and regret having ever left there,
I intend to. Halves and qtrs! Thank you!
Already have. Thank you so much...Everyone...and Brightwings, I look forward to each and every "tidbit".
Not off! Want desperately to be off! I have read it is being banned in the US. Anyone else?
