I tapered down to 1/4 of five milligram tablet and decided to go down One more step to 1/8. When I stopped altogether my physical symptoms were nearly non existent. Seems there was a slight, very slight visual sensation when I was driving but it only lasted a day or two and was really insignificant. However I was not on a high dose. Only on rare occasions I would take 10 mg in one day. For a good while I was taking 7.5 grams a day. I think my biggest challenge was the fact that it had become a psychological crutch. That caused some stress when I quit until I started to do guided relaxation/meditation. That became my safe place and remains so for me.

How long have you been meditating? I paid big bucks and hired a teacher that’s been teaching meditation for fourty years. I gave up because it made me anxious. I’ll try again. I wonder why it caused the anxiety? I told the teacher, she said she’d come back but is out of town until the first of the year.
