I ran out of my medication for three days and experienced brain zaps, stroke like symptoms and very strange dreams. I know that when I do go off of this medication it will need to be slow.

What were the reasons many of you decided to go off? I am taking this for anxiety. I would like to get off of it sometime.

Thanks for sharing this information.
