Maybe you are reducing too fast. I waited until I reached a good place and I felt relaxed and somewhat physically comfortable and then cut back and then took it easy until I reached a better place again. This isn't going to be an illness that you will get over quickly and it could be years. my advice would be, step back a dose level and talk to your doctor.

I'm reducing at a rate of 1mg every 6 weeks as recommended - .5mg every 3 weeks - and have no pain, only slight aches in the first week of each reduction. I'm not reducing too fast. I think the new tiredness may be from getting lower in dose.
