Well, I am a dumb one too (ha, ha) because I was taking 300 mg for about 5 1/2 months and took 150 mg the next and quit cold turkey. I never had withdrawals before so I figured it wont be too bad. WRONG! I was already getting the zaps/electrical jolt thing while on it, that's why I quit, but by Thursday morning (Wed was the last time I took a dose) I was not well. Had to leave work early and that's when the vomiting, extreme fatigue, felt very sick to my stomach started. For three days I could not keep anything down, yet I was so thirsty and hungry I would eat and then get sick. Sunday was the first day I did not get sick. I went back to work today with zaps still, but am feeling better. Will be happy when zaps are gone!
