@dickygray. Yes! We can get off this! I’m doing better - I’m taking 25 mg cut in 1/2. Taking 1/2 of the 25 in a.m. and the other half in evening. That was a smart move by my dr. Now I’m having less of the nasty withdrawal. I’m going to take it super slowly. I take 5,000 ofVitamin D because I also live in a cloudy place. I’m not averse to going onto something else but nothing with this difficulty of weaning. Simply evil!!

I only have 75 mg extended release capsules. I wish I could cut them in half, but I've always been told not to break open meds that are time released. Today is my 12th day at the lower dosage. My head is splitting, and I'm nauseous. I want to throw the rest in the garbage! But I will take it for at least a few more days.
