Glad to hear that the vacation was great! How did everything go with your lady friend?
I think you have the right idea about the tapering. Unfortunately, after a few days I was not able to stay off it completely. I was feeling pretty bummed about having to start again but I try to tell myself that I just have to taper slower. I went back to 5mg then down to 2.5mg. I haven't bothered to consult my doc because the only thing she can tell me is that she doesn't know why I'm even experiencing withdrawal. Funny, huh? I get more information from this site. Anyway, I will stay on 2.5mg for this week until Friday when my fiance comes back from his business trip. I am having the same problem where I start to dread trying to go off completely. I can deal with everything except the extreme dizziness. So, I have decided that I will then start chopping pieces off until I can't chop anymore. I'm wishing us both luck!
-MicheleHas anybody gone through this before that can give us an idea of how long the withdrawal lasts??
