I had no idea it took that long. But I have been tapering slowly since January, so 7 months so far. I'm on the lowest dose they make 0.125mg and I don't think it has any affect at all, and I believe the terrible insomnia is a withdrawal symptom as is my jitteriness. Blood pressure is spiking as well. I keep telling myself my brain is healing and rewiring itself but when I don't sleep all night, I sure do miss that little blue pill assuring me I would sleep easily and all night.
