Thanks everyone for the replies, I've learned and great deal reading here about others experiences, and it helped verify I'm not going crazy and the symptoms are to be expected 🙂 I'm still debating whether or not to do this quickly and get away from this drug or slow down the process and try it that way. Best of luck to you all!

Hi!
I am sure you have gotten LOTS of replies, let me be another voice heard.
Even though we all react to meds differently and we all have different withdrawal symptoms, I believe most of us agree that going off the drug SLOWLY is the way to go.
The withdrawals can be HORRIBLE and land you in the hospital!
These withdrawals can happen at any time and last a long time.
There is always time to try something else.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take it slow!
Happy weekend!
