Thank you so much for your advice! I just couldn't understand why I felt nothing for the first 3 or so days after my last dose and then suddenly started having these symptoms on about the 4th day after stopping. Anyway, I went back to taking 37.5 mg and the depersonalization feelings have disappeared so I know they were from the withdrawal. It's a pain in the ass though, to have to divide all the little beads inside the 75 mg pill in half...lol. But I will take 37.5 mg for a month or so I guess, then go down to 85 beads. (Half of a 75 mg pill is about 97 little beads), and see how I feel then I guess.

Hi,
Be sure to take it SLOW, very SLOW don’t get impatient. Your chance for withdrawal are reduced the slower you go.
Good luck,
Jake

I counted mine couple days ago and got 110 beads in my 37.5 mg. I’ll need to do the same
