Tapering from 150mg to 75, then to 37.5 was
hardly noticable, but the jump from 37.5 to
zero took an entire week... That means I felt
this weird "thumping heart in the neck"
sensation for a week after totally stopping.
I spent one evening pretty dizzy and one entire
day & night so irritable my family and I had to
stay apart, but it was worth it! As of today,
I am totally withdrawal symptom-free and OFF!
The whole process took a little under two
weeks...The Benedryl works & was EXTREMELY helpful!
Also, my doc had me take a Klonopin ONCE when
the "thumpy heart" started really bothering me.
It worked.Thanks to those who provided hints and support.
Good luck to others trying to taper.
