Just take it slow, slower than you want to because of the want or need to get off the meds. I thought i went slow enough but i guess i went too fast. a week went ok without the meds but then the withdrawal symptoms kicked in. for me it was heightened anxiety and agitation. I went back on meds for a while to try and calm down. I have come to the conclusion that not everybody is ready at the same pace to get off meds, dont feel bad if you are struggling. I am sending you prayers that your experience is better than mine, just follow a doctors protocol, eat right, sleep is you can and keep taking whatever supplements you are taking. good luck.
