How long after your taper ended were you able to have the six days effect-free? Today was the last day of my taper and I'm wondering what I might expect. I've had very mild -- and tolerable -- zaps for the last few weeks of the taper and if they continue for a while, I think I can handle it, but I don't know what else might be coming. I anticipate that I may still be very tired, needing to sleep a lot, yet still needing a small dose of melatonin to fall asleep at night, and some of the irritability may continue. The reasons for the irritability are rather hard to diagnose, to be honest -- unfortunately for me, I follow politics far too avidly and the last few days -- Friday, especially -- have been some of the worst. They've also brought up strong memories that enrage me. At this point, everything is intertwined.
