Thank you, Frances. How are you progressing with your taper? This is the most miserable physical experience I have ever gone through. I am down on 3 mg in a year, and I'm still ill nearly all the time. Thank you for your response, and the birdies! 🙂 Rebecca

In reply to @rmce72a Thanks for the note. I am doing much better, and think the worst of the withdrawal is over. Having said this, I still feel a bit discombobulated, a word I rarely use, but is fitting presently. If not for the other medication I have to ease the "suffering" I think I would have gone crazy. What has been working for me is the same thing I used when I quit smoking, and that is cleaning my apartment. LOL. Luckily, it is time for spring cleaning, and my apartment is looking like Martha Stewart dropped by with her cleaning tips.
Thank you for your support.
