Wow, impressive Ronnie! I like your system and determination. You said you were fine at each level but did you not get the zaps in your head? Did you have buzzing in your ears and did that reduce too. I’m trying to set a date to start and want to be prepared in case things don’t go well. I’m normally not afraid of stuff but this scares the bejeesus out of me.

How did you all feel when you finally came off the meds? Did it wow you? Are you more productive? Hopefully it’ll make a difference in my life.

I've had ZERO side effects. My sleep, or lack of, is the only thing but it could be for 100 other reasons. I don't know if you realized it, but it took me since November to reduce my dosage 25%. VERY SLOW and STEADY, I allow myself to take extra time if I feel the 3 weeks is not long enough.
GO SLOW!!!!!
