I was down to 75 mg for years and I tried taking one every other day! Not a good move I was quite psychotic panic wanting to harm myself and a very unsympathetic nurse? Said to go back on them I obviously needed them ??I went back on them . 75mg then I asked if I could have tablets 37.5 and I would take 2 a day ! I didn’t I took one 37.5 daily for months but found the withdrawal hard but I coped . I then months later brought tablet cutter and split the 37.5 in Half…many months like this .then a quarter again for months . I am now free for about a month . But these panics wake me up and I jump out of bed in a right tizzy . It soon passes but it’s terrifying . I am now also taking Pregabalin low does for pain another ailment lol . Doctor said these might help with withdrawal??? I really do understand your plight and my heart goes out to you .but you will get off of these ,just persevere . X
