Hello Lisa. I find when I am driving my car that I really have to concentrate on what I am doing! My mind is quite fuzzy & wants to daydream(hard to explain) I also have found that my eyesight is a little fuzzy as well; not all the time though. I have been taking 37.5 mgs for three weeks now & I get very lethargic when doing anything physical. Still have headaches, nausea & head spins, although these symptoms are slowly improving. One other annoying thing is that I am having difficulty texting on my phone ( keep hitting the wrong letters etc)
I intend to stay on this dose for maybe two more months & really want to feel like me again!
Kind regards
Shoshi

Don't do it! The real withdrawal only begins when you have been completely off for about one to two days. You are only prolonging the agony of withdrawal. That is the advice most professionals will give you. All the best.....I'm in the throes of hell myself
