Good Morning,
I agree with you 100%!
If it takes me months or years, I'm going to taper off VERY SLOWLY!
The last time I tried to come off (and I was taking a lot less) before, the schedule for tapering off was way too quick!
My PCP took me off an entire pill (of 2 pills) at one time!
Within a couple of days, I had a bad anxiety attack.
Slow and steady wins the race.

I went from 225 to 150 to 37.5 in six weeks I am now off completely 2 weeks today . I feel great. Best thing I ever did , quick and finally off this horrific drug. I won’t take another pill the rest of my life .
