Hi All,

Day 3 of 0mg and it’s not as awful as I expected. Definitely need to fight through things, but it’s not crippling me.

Yesterday I puttered around house and took my time with things, it’s all cerebral as @flind felt as well! Sensory overload is DEFINITELY a thing! Especially in the evening. My husband came home from an Expo for our business and was so excited to tell me everything and I just started crying and was like “I can’t talk right now”.

Brain zaps are still there, nausea comes and goes, headaches aren’t bad. Overall, I feel like I can get through this is I just take my time with my daily routines.

So incredibly grateful for this forum! Definitely, would feel alone if I didn’t have everyone here! 💜

Did you taper or cold turkey?
