What has your neurologist said about all those strange digestive effects? Have you had a new MRI of your neck/spine? Also mindfulness has really helped me with my outlook on life, just doing 10 minutes of very light exercising and doing something fun each day. Pain limits my fun activity so I measure what I can do and it might just be inviting a friend to watch a movie at my house, or gardening if I’m feeling better. Good luck and hang in there…you’re not alone!

They should take it off the market?

@kerdo1888, it is best to let your doctor know about your tapering schedule. Withdrawal effects are real. How are you doing today?
