@ffranmshaw5150 I think factors that affect the withdrawal side effects are the person's activity level, general health and fitness, propensity for balance and dizziness, diet, and age. Also, sleep quality and quantity, and how well the body processes the breakdown chemicals as the body reduces the dosage it is accustomed to are important. For me, I didn't know any better, still think 2 mg is a low dose, and I just cut to zero cold turkey more than once without experiencing one side effect. A 4-month reduction in dosage seems painfully long, but I'm not a doctor. Some websites tell you it's a full year.
