Hi @searchgirl, I was on 75mg and then went to 37.5 for a good 6 months and then over 2 months I emptied the pills to half (18mg) and then none. The best things that work for me are limiting coffee and eating food as bland as poss (boring I know). Showering before bed, listening to calming music and concentrate on breathing.
Things that really tip me over edge are loud bar/restaurants, vacations (even relaxing ones). Work meetings.
Sugar and chocolate at night and too much caffeine.
