Hello again. I am so glad that the information was helpful. I can admit that I did experiment with myself, but I wasn't ready to have a doctor administer another medication to me, because I did not want to have to try to get off of something else later. I meant to add that I do believe that the brain has to heal, as it is going through the withdrawal process and one of the Vitamins that I did find had a calming effect, was Vitamin B1. I do not know if I was lacking in it or not. I think it can be helpful for people to request a blood test to see what vitamins they could be lacking in, especially during the withdrawal period. Another tip that I wanted to tell you was that the "success stories" are what helped motivate me to press on so much more than hearing about symptoms. We do need both accounts, but the success stories gave me so much hope. Take care and keep us posted.

You're certainly right about the success stories!! Yours is the first I've read that had as long term usage as I have, so especially useful. I've changed the weaning schedule to one not as ambitious. I'm ok with a set back, just not failure.
I was interested to read about the tyrosine. So, you had a good experience with it? The warnings have me a bit spooked. There's just not a lot of evidence I've found to substantiate the nootropic sites that praise it. I use and have used l-theanine for some years at various doses. It has been a friend that helps me focus and adjust my naturally snappish moods.
Thanks for the feedback!
